Premium MemberRacial Preferential Treatment

God laughs when fools behave like racists
All persecuted individuals are His children
God laughs when a few are obviously chosen
And receive preferential treatment under the basis
That the lighter complexion is superior and better.

God created one race. The same blood flows like a river
In all God’s children veins. This blood is red, not amber
God laughs when a

The Civil Rights Era 1960s


In the light of the South where the sun burns bright,
We march for freedom, we march for right.
With each step forward, we push through pain,
Dreaming of a world where love will reign.

The streets are filled with glimmer of hope,
As we gather strength to help us cope.
In the face of hatred, we stand tall,
United we rise,

They're knocking at me door
In the middle of the night
They're knocking at me door
Giving me an awful fright.

They taking me
To a camp where
Ashes fall like black snow.

I'll not be overjoyed
By goose-stepping boys 
With boots to their knees, oh hey,
And brown shirts and billy clubs
Cheese grater belly rubs
Coming to take me away.

Statue

At the park, there’s a man built of black stone
He stands shamed with an indifferent rifle that yawns at the sky
His stallion is frozen in gallop, to be forever majestic
In the sweltering day, the man stands
In the shivering day, he finds no reprieve

Lore tells; that an anchor dropped at the edge of the raven’s ocean
And

Herstory from Battlefields to Laboratories
-	Daniel Henry Rodgers

Beneath stardust's scattered gleam, 
Her-story, a comet’s tail, blazing across time.

Through seasons it molds
...Once hushed now bold
We rise like a chorus harmonizing 
...In this vast of an eternal fold.

For I am Harriet Tubman
...leading souls unseen.
A beacon blazing hope, through history's mainstream.
Through the tranquil, moonlit 
...I had a lucid dream.

Premium MemberNothing Positive About Racism

There's nothing positive about racism
However, this cancer dehumanizes everyone
This bacterium kills all good pisum sativum
All necessary ingredients that distinguish a human
From something worst than a sinful animal.

There's nothing good about racism
The racists are the naughty scums of the es
The vile predators that thrive on controversial
Issues, the narcissistic skunks, and the bogus kites
That won't fly during

Let the World See

Mamie Till Mobley demanded and open casket,
to let the world see,
the bloated, beaten body of her baby boy,
who was lynched in Mississippi.

His name was Emmett Till,
a 14 year old black boy, 
who came from the state of Illinois.

It was 1955, the Jim Crow laws were very much alive.  
They said he was flirting with

The Dream

In 1963, Martin Luther King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech. 
What he asked for should not have been a far reach. 
Dr. King was rather unique 
And boy did he like to speak
He spoke on equality and racism
And spread his message through activism
He was one of the most prominent activists during the Civil

I shall weep for fallen angels
I shall weep when there are no more

I shall weep when there are no more

RIGHTS

A poem by
Jerry May

We all like what we like, but that's no reason to hate,
But our idiosyncratic prejudices can't decide others fate.
Regardless of anyone's beliefs, preference or likes,
Everyone needs without exception to have every human and civil right.
