Do Black Lives Matter?

Those seven shots in his back

Deprived of justice

Now that Democrats won the Senate, what will they do? Will we finally pass criminal justice reform? Or was it all a facade? Will George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Jacob Blake ever receive justice? Will they continue to call us radical and divisive for wanting to live? For wanting justice? How many Black men, women, and children will die this year of police brutality? Will our representatives finally represent us?

Only time will tell.
