When the dust is settle on this suffering
Hollywood will inevitably find a way to co-op
This movement
Because that’s what we need
They will cast Tom Cruise as a conflict cop
And Thandie Norton as his black light skin wife
They will have Terry Crews as his crooked cop partner to show that every race has bad cops
Because that’s exactly what we need
The center piece moment will be
A Black Lives Matter protest being raided by cops
As Tom Cruise white Jesus’ himself through the crowd
And hands every single person a Pepsi
As the movie ends with the a statue of our saviors
The Khardashians
As the screen turns to black there will be
Large white font declaring
NOW ALL LIVES MATTER
because that’s what we need
Says the screen writer
Says the politician
Says the police officer
Says his gun
This year has been more movie than real life
Politicians performing their best “I’m sorry” dance while still being able to dance around changing things
There is a new law for Breonna Taylor but her killers are still free
They can still mask themselves as human
Even as the veil slips and shows their fangs
I went to my first protest on June 2nd
In hopes of a change
And was met with a rousing speech
About voting
Where is the logic in thinking a white guy can make things better for black people than a black guy
I think they call that a dramatic irony in film
Once again the system has avoided
Emptying entire precinct and turning them into gardens and naming each fallen precinct after a fallen brother or sister
Funneling police pensions into college funds
For the parent less kids of the fallen
Burning all racist landmarks to the ground and building new community centers in their place
And finally just leaving us alone
Cuz THAT is what we really need!
