CONTRADICTIONS
IN BLACK
(24
February 2008 by Carl A. Patton)
The
Black Experience was way-laid
in
dissension and those that
suffered
from an abnormal past
that
sent them into a manner
of
insanity.
Was
there hope alive in racism?
Will
there be a change in the
mind
and hearts of those confused
about
all people and human rights?
Treason
has no conscience.
The
brother came to kill his
brother.
He burned down his
own
house and set fire
to
the innocent, the old
and
the helpless.
Who
would save the Black man from himself?
John
stood by, clutching and
holding
on to his Bible.
He
prayed with eyes wide open.
In
his closet he talked with
God.
There the crooked and
illogical
road became straight.
What
was normal to those confused
was
way off to the left and the
goats
ate their own dung.
The
guilty were no longer guilty
as
they yearned for change
and
righteousness smiled at
this
humble desire.
Hate
consumed those once hated.
They
now hated self as the
wicked
now decided to be wise.
There
was no profit in ignorance
although
some flirted with stupidity.
