Old Abilene

I Poet: Ken Jordan Poem: Old Abilene Edited by: Sparkle Jordan written: July/2015 God is a Texas sheriff, down in old Abilene - He has pale white skin, tall in stature, brawny, with a deep voice, and a coy sly grin - He's the judge and jury - for all people of black skin. God is a Texas Sheriff down in old Abilene - "Boy! I have a notion to take you round yonder, and string you up, from that poplar tree - But, Since you just passing through my town, I'm gonna set you free. Don't you ever come back black boy, don't even pass through, cause black boy, If I see you, Kneel and say your prayers, For I'm gonna put your neck in a noose and hang you from a popular tree - God, is truly a Texas Sheriff down in old Abilene -
