FOR POWER, LOVE AND JUSTICE

Once again we find ourselves

A nation in pandemic dilemma;

Once more, we find ourselves

Contrasting national power and love:

We have yet to grasp the beauty in the unity.

Rather, while claiming a love of nation,

We continue to allow its power abuse.

Once again, the questions arise,

Where must we go from here in a nation that’s

Falling apart at its core?

There is nothing warming about a nation

Involved in a cold civil war—

Nearly 6 decades ago, MLK informed us

That throughout the history of this nation,

Contrasting power and love as polar opposites

Has been one of its greatest problems;

For it has been proven a ludicrous attempt

To have Back America to seek equanimity

Through love and moral suasion devoid of power

While white America continues with dominating

Power devoid of love and moral consciousness—

It must yet be realized power concedes nothing

Void of struggle; and that in the power of love

We must demand justice; voting to forever ensure justice

As love correcting everything that opposes its loving power.

My brothers and sisters, God’s love has given us the power;

Now, let us, in the power of love, vote in our thanksgiving.
