Innocent black men have been shot and died
Mothers have sat and cried.
Hatred on the rise
Families-friendships starting to divide
In the name of justice,
People have become destructive.
Losing focus
On change-purpose
Pointing fingers-fighting
Looting, building you are burning
Jobs loss,
All to get a point across.
Only one side is deemed right
Those who disagree
Shunned for giving their insight
Called crazy; making them inwardly angry
We’re fed by the media
Not realizing their agenda
Spotlighting the negative, to keep us entertain
We constantly watch pain, and then point the blame
Discrimination on all sides
People grouped together; scrutinized
All “whites”, “blacks” and “cops”
The blame has to stop
To, as a country, get back on top
Yourself you should check,
Realize you aren’t perfect.
Fix yourself, and others respect
Stop the blame,
Feeding an already lit flame.
Let go of your grudge
Give it to the true JUDGE
Connect to HIM; He is perfect!
Hearts, He only can change, and correct
Because the problem isn’t skin
Its Sin!
Oh God, fix our wrong
Use this time to make us strong.
Discrimination isn’t in your kingdom.
All who accept you are welcomed.
God, this hatred is spreading like cancer!
But YOU are the healer and the answer.
With that thought, I can rest.
Knowing that I am blessed.
