You can't take Excedrin when you only have a stomach ache. You take peptobismol. However you have a medicine cabinet where all the medication goes(All lives Matter), you just take them out at different times when needed( Black Lives Matter). Now the businesses should not feel bad or guilty if the sales go down for Excedrin just because people are not getting headaches.. perhaps they should care for humanity and formulate more towards stomach aches to create balance. The people with stomach aches should not care for these businesses feeling guilty, because that might not make a real difference and all they just want is to get rid of the damn stomach ache. For people to take real action.
I've had this stomach ache since I was born.
Maybe not the same day, maybe not the same week, maybe not the same year.. but it's been a long time coming. It's been the longest memory that I have with me. And my body has only learned to adapt. And my mind has only learned to shut off while the pain persists.
But how can I explain a stomach ache to someone who has never had one. Some eyes wide open, they refuse to believe it exists . However some with eyes and ears shut will never will never even try...to see it.
Black is the color that Allah gave me. And black did not come with a prescribed stomach ache.
And when that first strike triggered the start of this hurt , society ignored it's cause. Instead kept on making the wrong medication although seeing how people would clutch their stomachs in pain.
And till this day generations are born in the same family business for headache prescription. Sometimes they don't even know why they prescribe. They just see it as fit for the stomachs.
Anatomy is a gift we have and share in common with each other. When a mother is hurting, the fetus can feel. When there is a natural disaster we all can be damaged. And when there is a fire in a building, when inside...we can all feel the burning.
When the names are called, when the videos are shown, when the people are hurting...
You can choose to turn away or call it what you like but
Anatomy is a gift we have and share in common with each other.
This at least should be understood.
