    Socially Divided

    Socially Divided

     

    To me it is a gross Malfeasance

    To proudly recite the pledge of allegiance

    With your hand proudly held on your chest

    While away from some they want their civil rights to wrest

     

    As loudly and proudly patriotically they call

    They believe in Liberty and Justice for all

    But it seems rather suspect to me

    Their definition of justice and liberty

     

    Is justice for anyone of ivory skin

    While liberty for some they think it’s a sin

    As they racially did way back when

    Those who the creator blessed with dark skin

     

    Were considered only three fifths human

    And some want to go that way again

    To blatantly bring racial bias back

    Much more since we’ve elected a president who’s black

     

    I hate to keep harping on this tid bit of history

    But it seems unmistakably clear to me

    That in this abundantly blessed country we called united

    In all reality we are socially divided

     

    H. Wilson

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
