We never got respect for our dead in their
Wars
We were warned we must take a loyal part
In:-
And they continue to disrespect us and our
Heirs
In the poor lifestyles, we are forced to live
Here:-
Little has changed in today’s terror tides
Of war for the emancipated heirs of a Civil
War fought supposedly for peace and equality.
While we wearily and openly sympathize
With the innocent victims of bloody bigotry
Bombings, we hued yet lack worldly concerns.
While Syndrome Black-on-Black “slapping”
Garners Breaking News, modern-day lynching
In the USA, remains to garner breaking world news!
Chosen Euro-border alarms merit more attention
That racism ever got; Euro-refugees are readily
Boarded, flown-in, and emancipated housed.
Once again, we hued here are caused to empathize
Rather than emphasize our own ornery war-like
Oppressive, debilitating life lived here today:-
But for the splendor of the wisdom or our perceived
Faith, the Onement of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday,
The Crucifixion and Ascension would be a Catch-22 for us.
