Righteous Indignation

Righteous indignation
I am emotional
I am anger
Over the mistreatment
Insults
Malice treatment of others
What a sense of injustice to  the babies, little children
Righteous indignation
I am emotional
I am anger
Over the mistreatment
Insults
Malice treatment of others
What a sense of injustice to  native Americans
Where are all the Indians now
And I, I
I am emotional
Righteous indignation
I am emotional
I am anger
Over the mistreatment
Insults
Malice treatment of others
What a sense of injustice to African Americans
Those Blacks, the *******, Colored 
Whatever the name they go by now
Righteous indignation
I am emotional
I am anger
Over the mistreatment
Insults
Malice treatment of others
What a sense of injustice to those churches
That mistreats their members
Tell them that their not saved unless they like as per their denominational creed
What about you
What about me
Righteous indignation
I am emotional
I am anger
Over the mistreatment
Insults
Malice treatment of others
What a sense of injustice
Help me Lord, to just pray more
Help me God, to reside in your love
Help me to forgive so
--So that I may live eternally with you
Arise in me keep me true
I will fully intend to forgive them
Whose spitefully misuse me
I am emotional
Righteous indignation
I am emotional
I am anger
Over the mistreatment
Insults
Malice treatment of others
What a sense of injustice to our sisters and brothers
