A Just Reaction - Vibrancy and Heartache

Race, economics, rights, and religion - the whole of society, and sobering - a poem.

The cardboard displays,
A business of choice -
And cash receipts -
The human streets,
Coerced and enlightened. 

A savvy groove;
Agents of classy, cordial reading,
Coaxing -
A villainous carnality whose volume remains
Decadent and astounding... 

********************************

Conditions of organized truth,
Bastions quite gallant and formidable -
Disgorging wrath
And avenging pale spite -
A page of racial embodiment
Convening in horror and tears;
Driven by balance and owning
To towering political pressures;

Eliminating the wanton violence
By many folks
Who must no longer
Wear a badge... 

The drawings of a preemptive stone,
Reinventing the clues
Which the entire Earth knows:
A socio-economic and educational status
For a futuristic community
On the not-too-distant horizon.
