Replying to a comment on:
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, punksâ
and every time I raise a hand,
âtwas 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.
