Take a Knee
By Franklin Price
9/28/2017
Take a knee to praise the Lord
Not for discord, we can't afford
Not in the venue of your work
Play football there, don't be a jerk
Don't use the flag to have your say
That's not, at all, the American way
That's not the way you should connect
When you're protesting disrespect
If you want the world to change
And think police should rearrange
Contribute your excessive pay
To help things turn the other way
To take a knee and end it there
Does nothing to make others care
You've used the flag that lets you play
I just have one more thing to say
If you want to end this plight
Then use your money to fight the fight
End disrespect that's more than crass
If you continue, kiss my ass
If you have read this and agree
Send it to your friends for me
Then get down on your bended knee
Pray for change, in the bad we see
