On Being Liberal

The mere fact That what people call truth Can be a mere fact; An assumption Is a prove That the truth Can only be revealed When all facts Are thoroughly examined And when all facts Including all acts Both those that happened Near and far The near acts and far acts; all facts Are seen in black and white And when all men; Black and white Can see things liberally Until then, nothing can ever be right Not even if I write Exercising my right Of expression Using my right I mean, my right hand Making a composition About my own life And how right Or wrong I have been In my daily living I might still not be right If all facts Aren't brought out So the truth itself, can come out Then, more Floyds will be killed For George was not brought To a judge Instead, George's killers judged George And their judgement I guess Was based only On the colour of his skin And even that My guess I mean Might still not be right © Kanu Ekpezu
