Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
riding through the glen!
Robin Hood , Robin Hood and his merry men
give to the rich
what they' taken from the poor.
The world in which I'm living
ain't the one I knew before....

change society   
gift for rhetoric and oratory
strived for freedom and compassion for all

   Oh, True Inspiration! Where have you been
     Can't you see the abominable shape my poetry's in

   Bring back the celebration, the excitation
     the fascination, the transformations 

   Huh? Whuss that? You're on permanent vacation?
     Oh, well. Ho-hum. Back to 'social justice agitation'...

Husband, brother, son, 
lover, friend - 
Will we see you again?
Will you be a headline on the news?
Unarmed and unashamed.
We stand fearful and furious
in tear soaked silent pleas.
Something must change.
His skin won't warrant death,
and our hearts won't continue to pay 
the inexcusable cost
of love in America....

Thin pale grass
Competing with the
Strong tree roots
Pushed to the surface.

Below the ground
There are reasons.

Heavy clay,
Compacted soil,
Competing
For moisture,
And air.

Below the ground
There are reasons.

Can we cut the roots, 
Remove the grass,
And plant a new garden.

Below the ground
There are reasons....

In a world gone mad
where rape and murder
in the name of love and peace
get the unquestioning support 
of the freedom loving press
and college campus crowd
social justice jihad
attains the level 
of a church indulgence
get out of jail free card
for the willful ignorance
of good intentions
we all know 
only lead to hell

Equal is a state of mind
for justice expectation:
Law’s value place upon our deeds
with fairness calculation.

Social justice doesn’t work,
sounding good at first.
To redistribute mine to theirs,
 puts Freedom in reverse.

There’s no such thing as equal
outside of number games.
Our Constitution’s wise resolve:
Equal justice - One Tier Law....

Social justice sat 
Poised before 
The tribunal of the wise.
No not,
One voice of the socially 
responsible echoed.
The avenue of cultural reforms?
Silent!
The cup of tears 
Drowning the dreams of the weary.
Mothers exiled to hopelessness. 
Dread resonates speechless fury.
Broken and a desperately riddled 
heart of distrust.

Memoirs of a bloodstained culture...

When Doves Cry

Along a seaside promenade in Bray
it was on the radio
You loved it there 
This is where you’ll come to lie
Spiritual journey comes to rest 
Activism, and socio-political views
Social justice
Your voice 
brings me sadness
as I played
a song for you
I heard the doves cry 
A torn photo
A public letter
in the news
Just want to say that
Nothing Compares 2 U...

Or hidden ‘Rightists’
Just like ‘Thatcherists’?...

TO SEEK KNOWLEDGE

To thine own self be true.
Why am I here?
From where did I come?

The mighty will fall.
What is the measure of a man?
What is a power struggle?

I am an aftermath of Civil Rights time.
What happen during Civil Rights time?
What was the Civil Rights Movement?

A fight for social justice is a fight against social injustice.
Why am I here?
From where did I come?

Nelson Mandela
by most accounts was quite a fella.
But sometimes he was dissed and dismissed,
said to be a card-carrying Communist.

Nelson Mandela fought segregation
in South Africa, his beloved nation.
With keen awareness,
and a great sense of fairness,
he encouraged reconciliation.

With characteristic robustness,
he was a champion of social justice;
and as the events of his long life unfurled,
he became a hero for all the world....

What madness
We are killing the healers and paying their killers
Bound to the pound and signed our own fate
Consuming its rot confiding in demons
looting the land and soiling the seas
The mother is burning the father is frail
Its shadow is creeping its whispers are vile
The machine it runs rampant its controls are all broken
Our storytellers are paid to swim with its tide
Is this the best we have to offer?
Slogans selling you tomorrow

Flowers festoon the streets of pain
The media is saying here comes political gain
There are ‘situations’ and ‘incidents’ so they say
They wheel out a spokesman whoevers flavour of the day
Try to deliver bad news with a celebrity sparkle
Doesn’t help the ‘situation’ from becoming a debacle
Promises are made in the debris of life
Cuts very deep like a social knife
‘heard it before’ shouts a voice from the crowd
Another joins in social justice got loud...

God Is Color Blind
Written: by Miracle Man
7/6/2020

Jesus died on the cross showing His love for each,
like Him, we can love the person but hate the sin.
Showing brotherly love should become our outreach,
lets stop judging people by pigment of their skin.

Social justice begins with valuing the masses,
not influenced by ethnic or cultural ties.
As people, we must learn to respect all classes,
failure to do so will surely bring our demise.

Choices
By: Miracle Man
6/20/2020

In a toxic environment we’re being forced to live,
and in the name of social justice we rewrite history.
We dwell on past wrongs while refusing to forgive,
and many is the time we’ve resorted to sophistry.

We no longer extend the hand of kindness to others,
and we busy ourselves daily, inspecting others fruit.
Because each person has his or her own druthers,
each sunrise always brings something else to dispute.

Once I threw a mouldy bread
into the dumpster
and when I went for groceries 
I saw a Gypsy boy taking the bread
and being content about it.

A tear dropped down my cheek.

I was always surrounded by
immoral people;
drug addicts, alcoholics,
small thieves, the poor.

Perhaps they see me as one of them
or they like the fact I don’t see them 
as immoral. Or they see me as a saviour.

Yes, that is who I am.
Mother Theresa for drug addicts.
Mouldy bread for hungry Gypsy boy....
