Black Lives….Matter…..As Well Poem by James B. Earley

That same sanctity……of life...
Long...Christianity's groundswell
…At odds…..with the notion
Black lives matter…as well

Must the bigoted mindset
…Systemically….reject
The misery of a people…
Twisted out….of context

Should Christendom…ignore
…What morality compels
We're all….God's children…
Black lives matter…as well


Author's Note:
My wife once asked, 'Who is the most powerful U S public official - the President or Chief Justice Supreme Court? ' 'Neither, ' I said, 'it's the ordinary police officer. That person can legally take your life - at will. JBE
