The New Word

For my sister … Shirley.

Go forward and create new dominions … havens where truth can prevail.
The new word is radical and revolutionary, fitting twenty-first century doctrine.
A country torn by civil strife will have its foundation washed away.
When inequality prevails as state doctrine, social chaos will ensue.
A country, a government, a people that stands separate, dies alone.
When one culture opposes another culture, humanity weeps.
When people are judged by the color of their skin, all are forsaken.
When churches and temples burn, we’re spitting in the face of God.
The pain of poverty inflicts all … understand societies’ woes.
Heed the new word with strength, conviction and faith …
There will be parties’ that will slander you and write libelous words.
Fear not the unknown … we shall be victorious over the evil hoard.
When persecuted for your beliefs … stand tall at the gallows’ call.
The end of the twenty-first century will see the demise of all forms of prejudice.
Teach all who want to learn … be kind to those who ridicule and jest.
We are the homosapien species … we should know no color, no boundary, no bigotry.
Keep the faith … never relinquish hope … always be tolerant.
Never use force to make a point … use your mind to conquer a foe.
The great blending has begun … there will be only one race … the Human Race.
