COME ON MAN...RECONCILE!?

CATEGORY

life

Now you want to descend
The rope that hung
And choked---
To walk in footprints 
With me
To offer an apology
For the naked sin
Yet you refuse to change
The conditions
That gave permissions
To the privileges 
Of the skin 
You are in.

Yes
To err is human
Yes
To forgive is divine
Christ 
Human 
And 
Divine
Wearing a crown
Of thorny vine
Crucified 
And Pilate 
Washed away
The Man
From his hand
And remained within 
The skin he was in

Reconciliation 
Is death
To humiliation
To degradation
Extermination 

God forgives and may His mercy 
Be upon you
Racism lives
And its callous coveted conditions
Live too.
