Analysis of Black Lives Matter



Black lives matter, we declare
With hearts full of hope and prayer
For every soul that's been oppressed
And every dream that's been suppressed

We stand against the hate and fear
That's been perpetuated year after year
And we rise up with a mighty voice
To proclaim that every life has choice

No longer will we turn a blind eye
To the pain and suffering that make us cry
For we know that justice must be done
And we won't stop until the battle's won

So let our voices echo loud and clear
For every life that's been lost, we shed a tear
But we stand in solidarity, hand in hand
To create a world where all can understand

That black lives matter, and always will
And we'll keep marching forward until
The day when all are truly free
To live, to love, and to just be.
