Kneel because when you do it you aren't just doing it for me you also do it for those millions of people who are now considered dead bodies that died due to racial discrimination, racial social issues, racial injustice, and racial inequality
Kneel for any person who was shot and killed while unarmed, go ahead and kneel
I see you and I feel you as you fight for me you also free-willingly and subconsciously fight for the others who came before me
For every person of color who was judged by the color of his or her skin and told they don't matter kneel
For every person who has been purposely targeted and selected to be corrupted, this same system, which was already planned to make them their prey, kneel
For the black men who are falsely accused of crimes they didn't even commit and still spent time behind bars, I need you to kneel
For every black leader that was killed when standing for a cause, go ahead and kneel
Kneel for the millions of black women who were raped, abused, and used as medical experiments, and died while being experimented on, kneel
Kneel for those thousands and millions of innocent men, women, and children, who constantly die of starvation, because our government is too busy using the money to fund and support unnecessary wars, kneel
For every muslim, transgender, or person who has been murdered due to his or her ethnicity, race, religion, or sexual orientation, yes, I need you to kneel
For that black girl who is constantly being told she doesn't matter, kneel
For the black man who is constantly being told he doesn't matter, kneel
For that person who was just shot, targeted, and killed by that very same officer, who was put in office to help serve and protect them, kneel
For these corrupt cops who get away with taking innocent lives, as if their lives don't matter at all, kneel
For those who constantly say all lives matter as a tool to silence any person of color from saying they matter as well, kneel
Kneel, kneel, just KNEEL...#colinkaepernick #protesting #people #socialmedia #Amerikka #Kneel #poetry
