Not the Flag

Flags are not the problem - A mindset is the source Of hatred and despising And murdering discourse. Racism’s a phenomenon Oh so carefully taught From generation to generation Hatred must be brought By those kindred souls Instructed in the realm Of hatred and loathing So their minds would overwhelm Any sense of logic, Any sense of right So they could hate and lynch someone In the middle of the night. Many White-mens’ closets Of skeletons are filled But Racism washes out The guilt therein instilled “Christian’s We”, they do decree But Christ would not condone The loss of even one – Inside their killing zone. Condemn their rants, condemn their chants But don’t stand idly by. When hatred runs unbridled, To God’s Word must we comply.
