Jamyla Killed Not A Peep From Black Lives Matter Why

Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, prompting riots and the creation of Black Lives Matter
Nights of looting and burning as the rule of law in Ferguson was shattered
A false narrative of hands up don’t shoot
To justify the thugs desire to burn and loot
Even the president and Holder weighed in with FBI flooding the Ferguson scene
A reflex response to a shooting with a hate crime investigation to convene
Months later in a house near a house near that of Michael Brown
A nine year old girl with fourth grade homework to do had just sat down
Shots rang out and Jamyla soon lay dead on the floor
A black shooter whose heinous act  the Black Lives Matter crowd seems to have ignored
Only the sounds of silence, no demonstrations and no protesting parades
Do black lives matter only if a cop shoots? Give me a break, a total charade
Dozens of blacks are killed by black thugs on each and every day
Nameless in the news, no anger of the Black Lives Matter movement to display
Nameless unmourned victims except to grieving family and friends
When will Black Lives Matter be marching in the streets to protest the black on black killing trend?
Demanding more police in their neighborhoods not less
To with the community’s help to try to this murder rate suppress.
