Begging the question…weren’t you once
A young child like Aiyana Jones or Tamir Rice
With parents like Pamela Turner or Keith Scott?

When you say #AllLivesMatter
I hear that only lives like yours matter

Begging the question…don’t you have
Dreams like Breonna Taylor and Jordan Davis
Lives like Atatiana Jefferson and Botham Jean?

When you say #AllLivesMatter
I hear that only lives like yours matter

Begging the question…don’t you know
Neighbors like Sandra Bland and Philando Castile
People like Yvette Smith and Jonathan Ferrell

That should include all the lives like yours and so much more
