Black Lives Matter

The King of Swords is in repose

Resting, reinvigorating

Sitting

Enthroned

Calm and straightforward in thought

Deep in a groan

Release of pressure

Another decisive moment in

Revolution in Pandemic’s racist storm

Foaming-at-the-mouth Nazis, Skinheads

White Supremacist militia

Keen-spoken King cuts through ignorance

And hatred’s embodiment 

With powerful leveling uplifts 

All suits uniting force

Black Lives Matter in every moment

Continue to activate and show growth

Reparations and fresh water in honor 

Butterflies are released into course

Intuitive lyrical intellect through dance 

This King’s favorite unifying art source

Balanced speech and action incite progression 

Healing nourishes 

Clear minds and hearts!
