Poem 65: Progress?

The protests are still flourishing and other countries have now joined in

One can only hope that some serious changes will begin

“Black Lives Matter” is a slogan that is being echoed everywhere

Nations the whole world over should now be well aware

Seems like people in high places are now starting to come around

I hope these promises aren’t all empty and they get off the ground

You have to be totally blind not to see the injustice being done

I only wish this cause could be embraced by everyone

We have to be realistic knowing that we will never attain that goal

Thanks to all those bigots and racists who are born without a soul

To them hating minorities is a pleasure that they prefer

Discrimination has been practiced for generations and continues to endure

Ku Klux Klan and White Supremacists are the first groups that come to mind

Participants in these organizations can be hard to find

This side of their lifestyle is not out in full display

They prefer to keep this part of their life hidden anyway

So they hide behind their cloaks and lies and think that no one knows

Being that their race is so superior, how come they refuse to expose?

Racists can be found no matter where you go

Not all of them are enemies, they may be even friends you know

Some when watching these protests may not experience any empathy at all

Others may view the whole proceedings and get that wakeup call

How can people view these murder scenes and not be affected you have to ask?

That’s why this road to equality is such a monumental task

It certainly doesn’t help when you have a man like “Trump” in charge

For the mass majority, he’s the enemy at large

This guy is doing everything to get re-elected in November

As far as all these “hate groups” go, he’s a chartered member

He brought in the manpower to dominate these groups

He’s even using the national guard as his own  private troupe

He had a street cleared of peaceful protestors to show some of his might

These people were pepper sprayed and run over without even putting up a fight

After the crowd was herded out, he headed to that space

He took a bible in his hand and held it in that exact place

A form of intimidation to scare these crowds away

There he stood like a moron and had no words to say

Then they took a picture of white people in front of this parish

This photo op was something that no one in America has chosen to cherish

Yesterday a few words about “George Floyd” were mentioned in the speech he said

He chose to concentrate on the economy instead

He said “George” must be smiling from above because everything is going so well

He only bothered to mention his first name, his last name he chose not to tell

I only hope that when Trump dies, he gets to see his life as we really know

Once again his sight will be obstructed because he will be looking from below
