Give the Drummer Some

Brother , sister
mister, misses
mother,
cousin,
dada,

listen...

Black lives matter
above all the chatter
in spite of all the data
to the contrary sadder

Uncorrupted, 
it is your intrinsic nature
to embody the sanctity of Love

Dance
to the beat
of self-respect
educated by the beat of the drum  

Emulate the source of given powers
honor and protect your women
arm your children well 

Give the drummer some
ancestor worship
on the run ~

Because
Black lives
will only matter
should it matter to you
