Racism 4 (Free verse) by Dovina

We hold a sound foundation, sad if for well-being, that God created man in His own image, male and female, black and white, butcher, baker, potter, poet. Believing makes it so. Encounter God, if still tuned in, through god-words of a poet. I am neither blind nor willfully unkind, admit to nothing new. This has come to us, and not to me alone. I am every race and every sex, all artists, tradesmen, killers, punks— and every time I raise a hand, ‘twas put there by a will and tendon provided by Most High. Since color, race and sex are moot, it only matters why. That hand is up to strike someone or render someone high.

I sort of see it. In any event, you'd have to say "hold a foundation as truth"; you couldn't only say "hold a foundation" any more than you could say "hold a truth".

Even then, it would be better to say you hold a bunch of things to be true, thereby making a foundation (that holds you.)
