Candles of Hatred

Let the ‘Empty-Seats’ represent the ‘People,’ that does not Agree with they that
'Bend the Knee,' in Protest of Falseness of Fact. The ‘Anthem is for ‘UNITY.’’

Candles of Hatred
By Arley Steinhour 111117

How Stupid can a person be,
That, in Protest, Bends a Knee,
Protesting that which, ‘Set Them Free,’
That, ‘All men be Equal,’ Eternally?’

They call it ‘Racist,’ so I guess it be,
But, Prefix, ‘Anti,’ is what set them free,
The Road was hard, it took a while,
Unto the day that they could Smile.

Equality Blossomed, since the Early Sixties,
From Small Towns, unto City Complexities,
The Slave-word, mentality, seemed to Wane,
Then, Welfare took Hold, ‘Causing Great Pain.’

The Black was buried, into, Ghetto Life,
As the ‘Welfare Check,’ caused Great Strife,
The Single Parent, had little to Socially Gain,
By being, ‘Kept,’ (Seasoned the Social Pain).

Mom, raised her children, to ‘see the light,’
(‘White Folk will pay, if we promise, not to bite;’)
Young girls in family, can increase Household Income,
Unwed, with baby, receives ‘Pay-Raise, and Then-Some.’

Male children grow, as The One who, Must Depart,
To the Street, or Education, or an Enterprise, Start,
A Few, into Sports, with Remuneration, ‘Off the Chart,’
With most other endeavors, earning Less, ‘A la Carte,’

With, focus on them, of the ‘Sports-Income-Ilk,’
Who’d ‘Take a Knee,’ against the ‘Providers of their ‘Silk,’’
By Words and Names, that ‘Relights, Candles of Hatred,’
Against, the ‘American Way,’ when ‘Anthem is Presented.’

I will say this once, and then, leave you to Ponder,
“If Slavery hadn’t brought your People from ‘Over-Yonder,’
What life might you have, today, without ‘Slavery’s-Bonder?’
plus, ‘Why, do you Waste, the Fleeting Gift, you Squander?’

‘Get Right,’ with the Freedoms, we have, in the ‘Land of Tenacity,’
To Grow, and Prosper Family, in any, and All, ‘Time Honored Acclivity,’
By, Communion with God/Jesus, and Family, through our Perspicacity,
That, ‘We the People,’ usher in, God’s ‘Eternity, of Perfect-Activity.’

AMEN
