Afronaut

This is about time
This is about inertia
This is about action
This is about life and death
Our daily lives go on despite those who have died
from illness, from police violence, from racism, from official negligence
I'll see you Sunday becomes I'll see you someday
It goes on 
for the living 
for the dead
This isn't about inter-racial love or racial unity
This is about ending racism and undoing white supremacy
This is about all the lives unnecessarily lost to illness, particularly COVID19
The disproportionate number of black and brown people who died from this virus due to systemic racism 
This is about all our lives 
and what we're going to do with the time we have left 
on this earth
