The CheckerboardA Poem by butterflyWhy am I so angry Maybe because 6 Asians died because of a man's sexual addition It is not a hate racially motivated crime says the people with the fancy degree The news makes it harder to listen Got us screaming like children They dont hear We dont see what they see I forgive him though He obviously sold his soul to the devil a long time ago The church shouldnt have left him abandoned Yet all of us dont have a clue We dont know How to function in this white man land I know though its more than that the checkerboard is black and white squares This is the spiritual game who knows what goes where No one really knows the rules There is an instruction manual Yet so many of us play like fools Whatever the label it is still a crime The robbing of innocent life Yet in this day we strive to make the future right Not let the past keep us blind So my friends open up your eyes Be kind
