Perhaps I repeat myself in saying that elevating one skin tone or sex over another is as wrong as having the first offense kept in place. Love and respect for each other is what is needed. All lives are sacred.
All Life Matters by Michael Doyle Outside my window, the city will burn Is anyone asking what our children will learn As in the name of love they see destruction In an appalling lack of positive construction Replacing one over the other is not the good Nor that path of betterment ever understood Tearing down the starry bits of firmament Only put Lucifer in Hell where he'll stay permanent Dr. King said and I do truly adhere and believe That only love not hate and only the will not to deceive Will ever be the path that wins over the ways of hate It's a lesson worth learning before it becomes too late All life is sacred and all life matters To say that only Black Lives Matter Is as vicious as things that I have fought It is not the better way that I have sought I do not ever mean to hurt or to offend But however outrageous I will not pretend And take part in something of a bad decision Though meaning the aggrieved any derision Injustice toward any is injustice toward us all Let's engrave that on the storied wall But never elevating one skin tone over another Each of us should strive for equality of sister and brother But no one should be ill afforded the deference To say that they do not understand the reverence That God created all to be equal before Him And past wrongs are not made better replacing us for them All life is sacred and all life truly matters I will not bend knee to Only Black Lives Matter Though I will always fight against the wrong And for a society of inclusion where we all belong A well disguised fascism is fascism nonetheless I will always fight for the creed that I confess Before the Father, we all equal as before the law Let us emblazon that thought on society's wall (c) June 16, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
