[ONLY] Black lives matter vs. Black lives matter [TOO].
Language becomes puzzle,
Check the picture, get a clue.
Implicit, you’re complicit,
Yes, you should’ve stayed in school.
You’re in a rush to spit your piece,
Do all stupidity matter too?

Alas, your alarm clock didn’t go off because all times matter.
What’s that? “Alarms are meant to be reminders, not a debate?”
Strange.

So was Black Lives Matter.
