Partiality

I'm really feeling sad for folks
they're almost at wits end
Don't seem to care if Cops get shot
(that's those you won't defend)

Notice you aren't yelling loud
for christians, (just the rest)
Let someone say an unkind thing
about muslims? You'll protest

Just remember all lives matter
you never pick and choose
For if you single someone out
eventually you'll lose

Won't hurt to do some research
and learn why you're still here
Yes many lives were sacrificed
so you don't live in fear


Pretty soon they'll over-run
you'll just be in the way
Churches? Nothing left of them
you will have to hide to pray

Those coming here they have a goal 
pledge allegiance not on list
The clans are growing every day
they protest with raised fist.....

YES ! Many of us know it, but not many will say it. We may be all God's children, but we must learn to recognize our enemies ......... there is evil and there is good. Well written Pete
