I apologize for them

BLACK  LIVES MATTER...

You are my sister and you are my brother
Though we have had a totally different mother
And though the colors that are emitted from our skin
May betray the  difference of our DNA deep within

Yet still, will I  claim you ..you are my very own
And blush at the unkindnesses you have been shown
The most ugly unkind  forms  of all of our humankind
You have known because of officers stepping out of line

So I apologize for all these  and those awful times
You have suffered so many terrible  terrible crimes
At the hands of those wielding unmerited power
I stand with you and protest every prejudiced hour

It is not what America's about not the America I know
So I plead with those who can ....to right this terrible woe
This cancerous outrage plaguing our nation everywhere
And instill in all. an attitude that is right and always fair

There is no color or class in God's Kingdom .. all our one
So, let us , all, go back to following  God's only Son
And treat one another with dignity  love and respect
It is the only way we will die in peace without any regret
