When Hope is on Fire

You know what it is.

Another unarmed Black Man is killed by police while the world watches.

Another hashtag to add to an insanely long list.

When will it end?

When will systemic racism be burned down and this country truly live up to it’s creed that ‘all men are created equal’?

I’m tired, people. Tired of hoping and believing that the better side of humanity will do the right thing.

But still, I rise every day with the commitment to do my part, to speak out, to vote, to help those I encounter better themselves.

And all I’m left with is a silver of hope.
