DESPICABLE
By Pat Severin
I think that it’s despicable
that prejudice still reigns,
That some Whites view their
race as pure, while hatred leaves such stains.
What makes them feel they’re justified
to put the Black race down,
Regard themselves superior to ones whose skin is brown?
Have they not learned a
single thing since blacks were bought and sold,
The lesson of the Golden
Rule, so simple and so old?
ALL men have been created
by the perfect Master’s hand.
If one race stands above the rest
the flames of hate are fanned.
But CRUELTY is race-less and it must
be judged as that
No matter who engages in a
thoughtless heinous act.
For no one is above the law,
it stands for HUMAN justice;
When men pledge to uphold those
laws, ALL citizens should trust this.
What’s happened to our
country that Black men must live in fear…
Of being judged because
they’re black, where is the justice here?
Our laws are made for ALL men
and applies to all the races
And yet the black man's singled
out, just tell me where the grace is?
It must be this that laws are
laws no matter who you are
And treatment is humane to
all and doesn’t go too far.
Aren’t all regarded innocent
before considered guilty
And shouldn't those who take an
oath, uphold it as it should be?
And what conclusion should we
draw when one who should know better
Ignores the law and
demonstrates how he’s by hatred fettered,
Then filled with hate and vitriol
feels murder’s justified,
That George Floyd’s not
deserving of his basic human rights?
But if we let our anger rule,
the harm of that deduction
Is innocents will suffer from
our unchecked mass destruction.
And what is gained from cursing
those, can that change this injustice?
It only makes the ones who
watch grow more and more disgusted.
All I can say is this MUST
stop, that justice must prevail,
And never should we stand to
hear another black man wail…
That he “can’t breathe” and
watch such hatred daily taking place!
We can’t stand by while judging's done by the color of a face!
