I sit alone in an English garden And gaze in awe at sunset sky Where colours paint a masterpiece So exquisite to the eye From deep maroons to orange fire It fades into a yellow fan And sprinkles specks of fading clouds That sink to rendezvous with dawn And as I marvel at this display In silence and at evening's rest I think of those so far away Undergoing violent fiery test Across the sea and over time A million voices rage and cry At evil acts by law's decree That can no longer be denied Where justice is not black and white And hate's hunger is so overfed For authority is on white pages In ink that reads a ****** red An army of intolerance A brotherhood of hate Bedecked by badge of bludgeoning And tazer in each state Crushing spirit and stealing peace While demanding our respect While shocking limbs and rocking lives And kneeling on the neck Instilled with warped ideology That debases human mind Tainted white superiority And so divided of humankind But where is hate's validity? How is it justified? Where is their authority To harrass and to divide? For none can claim to be the first To be the proudest purest race For America was full of colour Before Europe found that place Did these men not swear an oath To “disharge faithfully and well” And defend all citizens equally And truth to uphold and to tell? And did they not seal their oath With promise solemn and divine Proclaiming liberty and devotion “So help me God” the final line! And what do we know of our creator Is he so hard and partial too? Is God's likeness just caucasian Or is his love both fair and true His words are there for all to see In the Bible's pages plain and clear That God does not show favouritism But loves all those who hold Him dear For when the greatest artist made The races that dwell on earth today He used a pallet and brush of life And a million colours to stroke and splay For this world is not black and white Nor grey or dull and monochrome But is crowned with dazzling glorious colours No shade is missing, no not one So if it pleases God to paint This earth in colours of his love Then surely skin of many colours Must be a gift of God above So please Mr Police Officer Before you terrorize more souls Because their skin is not like yours Be sure you know your cause and goal For it is not for liberty Nor for honour that you whack And do not think that God approves Of your vile and prejudiced attacks For you dishonour that badge you wear And the land that you protect And with every blow you turn to black You **** the law and lose respect And in case you think me biased And writing to support my kind Please know I am male and white And just like God, I'm colour-blind
