Taking a Knee

Blacks take a knee to battle against inequality whites take a knee because they may feel guilty a harlot takes to her knees to feed her children some take a knee for the sake of faith and religion a fighter takes a knee to regain all of his senses. George took a knee and would never breathe again love takes a knee for a hand then offers a ring in most cases taking a knee is the pearl in the plea deceit takes a knee with bad intent and for show while plotting for the whole damn house to blow-

You have given so many reasons why someone gets down on ones knees - there is bad like the recent event but also good where someone proposes. the death has sparked riots and there is a knee jerk reaction on a global scale:-( hugs Jan xx
