Edward Mccall Poet Free verse

Locked In a Cave

No destination locked in a cave of sick twisted racial hatred deprave
Some men wear costumes and some carry flags with crooked bent sticks tattooed on both sides 
They hide behind words like white power white pride
 They hide behind slogans that say certain lives matter
 They hide behind words like black power black pride
Self righteous, sanctimonious, prejudice brides
They've married injustice and violence  not pride
They pass to their children, no way to be saved
From no destination locked in a cave

           Children are the future 
                 Adults the past 
  so we all must be careful of what die we cast
