#blacklivesmatter

I don’t like the world right now,
The world feels at odds.
But we shouldn’t be.
We should be united,
Fighting for our brothers and sisters.

Right now, we should be saying one thing,
That is, black lives matter.

If there’s one thing I know,
It’s yours and my job,
To fight for a plea,
For our black siblings to be righted,
Now is not the time for whispers.

We must shout from the rooftops,
This must stop.
Black lives matter.

I like that you avoid too many rhymes in this, and the subject matter is of course pertinent. I felt like there are some cliches and awkward phrases, like "there's only one factor" that you could work on to improve, but other than that good work.
