Black Lives DON’T Matter

Black lives don’t matter.
Greek lives don’t matter.
Palestinian lives don’t matter.
Iraqi lives don’t matter.
Syrian lives don’t matter.
Yemeni lives don’t matter.
Afghani lives don’t matter.
Mexican lives don’t matter.
Indonesian lives don’t matter.
Etc, etc. etc…
The environment doesn’t matter.
Nature doesn’t matter.
The future doesn’t matter.
No matter, no matter, no matter.
Blatter, bafatter, madhatter.
Fast food workers’ lives don’t matter.
Walmart workers’ lives don’t matter.
WORKERS don’t matter.
People living near fracking sites don’t matter.
PEOPLE don’t matter.
PEOPLE DO NOT MATTER.
(Repeat until it sinks in!)

Money matters.
If you have lots and lots and lots and lots
(repeat a billion times)
you matter.

Unless
you take matters into your own hands,
unite with all people,
ALL people,
regardless of race, nationality and religion,
and change what matters.
It’s a matter of life.
It’s a matter of survival.
It’s a matter of truth, justice and beauty.
It’s a matter of love.
That’s the heart of the matter.
