Poetry Post 226

World Tumult
It's hard to find your inner peace
When the world's anger and anxiety won't cease
Pressuring people make the world too uptight to ease
The depress cave in as the angry bullies do as they please
In a world of tumult how do we hold our own
Where hospitality was hostility is now shown
Neighborly love weeded out hometown hatred now grown
The name of God forgotten but Satan's still is known

Judicial Racism
There is something not fair
When a black man gets the chair
But if a cop shoots a "suspect" he gets a month off with pay
Take a look at these scenarios and see what they say
Baily, Cowens, Swilley, Pell, Cooke and Townley got forty-five years collectively
But Rubin Carter got and served seventeen years without being guilty
Many innocent men taking years of persecution
While Beckworth, Forrest and Dynamite Joe spent years free from prosecution

Another Day Of Work
Another cry to call
More work to befall
Never getting a moment's break
As my body starts to ache
But there will be a reward expected
And I'll be appreciated and respected
And a work awarded by a smile
Makes the work worthwhile
