It Is Not Happening By Chance

Rip down the statues
Rename the streets
Police the language
Label it hate speech

Burn down the cities
In peaceful protest
Justice is racist
Thus, civil unrest

No longer about 
Seats on the bus
A bus itself
Is labeled unjust

Envy a sin
Yet the very basis
Of a pernicious movement
Mislabeled social justice



True justice is blind
Social justice sees
Skin tone blamed
For all disparity

Media propogandist
Mix up the facts
Left is right
Right is wrong

Gaslighting Americans 
With their fake news
Giving demonic takes
Editing out truth

Hate your enemy
Get up in their face
Resist reality
Let ideology replace

Tragedy in the schools
Fools blame it on tools
Deceived bunch of souls 
Who forget man reaps what he sows 

How it all ends
Is known in advance
Simply have faith
Knowing it doesn’t happen by chance

Your words resonate the truth! The truth that prevails and it is not a pretty picture for America! You have penned a perfect image of the decline of what was once a Great America. :)Paulette

Seems to me that you have been looking, or trying to look, at The Big Picture. Individually your snippets are merely that, but when you add it up something begins to emerge and if one looks hard enough that something is…The Big Picture. Not everyone can or will see it so kudos on your eyesight. Awesome thought provoking poem. John

Perfect penning, Kenneth. After all is said and done, God is calling the shots. This is a big FAVE for me. Bullseye! ~ Gershon
