Do you know that feeling When unexpectedly A friend or family member Exposes their bigotry? Well, I can be very out spoken Bigotry after all is A cognizant distortion
I recall last summer In the marketplace The sun rays Blessing the day Children laughing Parents smiling My voice welcomes all Some of the kindest people I have ever met Mexican migrant workers Such a pleasure to appease Used tables, chairs and dressers And used shoes on their children's feet A Muslim man his wife and daughters All greet me with kind words The gleam within their shopping eyes While on guard to be reserved Native Americans I do respect Their culture and their lands For after all upon their blood Is where America stands
And with this beautiful tapestry Hanging upon my days I'll stand against the hatred America's oldest plague.
I actually have my own mini flea market I use to follow the circuit Before my show grew to large Now I rent parking lot and set up If I didn't love people, I'd go broke.
