This one's on me

Another innocent life is laid to waste

Another body lays on the slab and the streets are full of blood again

It’s time for us to start holding people accountable starting with ourselves

We here in this room

I’m going to hold myself accountable

No more blaming

The bullet

Or the trigger

Or the finger

Or the badge

We need to start making those with badges earn them

People in power earn that power

We give it up so easily

We can’t even agree whether or not someone being killed in the street is wrong

People argue about someone being murdered in the street and look for the minutia to find blame in the dead

How the fuck did we get here?

Why are we here?

How did we allow this to happen?

From here on in I’m accountable

Because I did nothing, we did nothing

We’re doing nothing

Nothing is happening

Nothing is changing

And it’s only getting worse

We’re blaming protesters for protesting the very things that are the most disgusting about us

People are in an uproar about the peaceful ways we’re trying to change the most violent of our ways

It’s so fucking stupid

I don’t know what to do anymore

Who is to blame?

Another body

Another bullet

Its’ not enough to talk about it

It’s not enough to write about it

It’s not enough for me to tell you how I feel about it

It’s not enough for you to feel something about it

It’s just not enough

When people begin to burn down their cities out of frustration we’ll wish for days when people took a knee during the national anthem

We’ll wish for days of people marching in the streets

We’ll wish for black lives matter

We’ll wish for arguing on social media

How did we get here?

How do I get the blood off of my hands?
