2010 Racism.

Torn apart from limb to limb
On a noble whim I am Rosa Parks again
A curiously bedazzled blend of vigor and wasted vim
and I know
Torn apart from stem to stern
Without a compass, or a plan again
It seems that I will never learn
Despite the blows
Torn apart; tossed head first to the four winds
The martyr who attempts to barter when he can
Knowing the likelihood that he will win
is lost upon a the emperor’s clothes

    It is a shame how we have to continually battle the race issue. When it looked like progress was made, we find out that it wasn’t real. Laws can’t change what is in people’s hearts, only God can do that. And He sees through all of the hypocrisy of those who deny being racists but show it in their actions.

    too true..we are all God’s children, and the sooner we all realize that the better off we will all be…some take longer to figure things out than others.
