all lives matter?
All lives matter?
You mean the people in Care Homes?
The G.I Joes who died on the beaches of Normandy
The guys who never came back from Vietnam and the folks they sprayed with Agent Orange?
The citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
The body bags brought back from Iraq and Afghanistan.
The native American Indians?
You mean General Custer’s life mattered.
The homeless?
Do their lives matter?
Well, why aren’t you doing a God damn thing about it instead of hiding behind your bible?
You mean that your dog ‘Poochie’. His life matters more than humans,
I know, I know. I’ve seen you post that so many times on Facebook.
You’re the one who hangs little bags from trees.
If all lives mattered then your ancestors would not have thrown people into slavery to feed their greed and to make money.
Conservative & Republican lives matter.
The lives of the N.R.A matter but not the innocent victims of school shootings.
White lives matter when their lives and livelihoods are being threatened by looters.
Have you not heard of “Property is Theft?”
You bet your sweet white privileged ass all lives don’t matter.
