Poetry

the difference between good and evil
almost everyday
you see it
I am not an economist,
nor someone who deals with countries
at the state department of any land
we see it, we grew up with disparities
see the homelessness grow
year by year,
and the climate change.

Now, depending on how old,
what was it the civil war in the US,
what was it, slavery,
what was it,
WWI
WWII
Korea,
Vietnam
Jim Crow

Just what did we live through,
Or just what was it did we learn in public school
about virtue, or about true justice/ real representation in any democracy

We are rattled just now.
A whole lot of us are,
thinking and believing that there could one day be an end
to this hatred towards one another
that there could be some day the best
ingredients of all of us
working together to make a better
world for all

For all
For all
For all
For a whole lot of us can identify
with what you say
you do know this

My King
