A tattoo that may have been from youth Could be of a religious reference too How horrific it would feel you would be blue Torn from your life family country rights refused Some may accuse you of being in a gang Yet KKK and Proud Boys are the very same Not any of them are arrested put in chains Double standards are free falling like rain

Great write for the contest Karen. Please read the nasty comment left on the poem I wrote for the same contest. I am fuming… Beryl

Karen, I deleted the poem because of the awful comment a certain poetess made to my poem, but have reposted and blocked her… Beryl

I find it creating damage to my heart. The one in my body. I have to move away from it. Find other things. But I keep finding God. I Samuel 21 and 22: 7,18 find the name Doeg. This will make you better.
