Bowie State University Student, Richard Collins III, Commissioned as a second lieutenant, Will not graduate. Have you heard? On the path to serving his nation In many more ways than one, Collins' life was quickly ended. Another mother lost her son. Standing with friends, minding his business, Collins--as witnesses will attest-- Was stabbed by a homegrown, racist terrorist-- Stabbed directly in the chest. Who was the killer? Sean Urbanski, A current student at UMD, Also a member of Alt-Reich: Nation, A truth of a painful reality. Emboldened by white supremacists Working in the White House, no less, Racist groups are on the rise, Spreading their loathsome hatefulness. They say that Collins was brutally murdered Because of the color of his skin. He was murdered because of hatred, For hatred is racism's twin. Resist the scourge of discrimination. Mobilize--it's never too late-- To extirpate ALL forms Of ugly, white-supremacist hate. -by Bob B (5-23-17)
