The religious, on the side of ruling by fear,
Succumbing to doom and gloom.
While the “secular” are fighting for just and fair.
They are the ones trying to include.
Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
Those with the faith should be more sound, and positive
About what the future would bring.
Seems there is more biological evidence to explain being gay.
No such explanation for those who are racist.
But the religious choose to eliminate the former,
And embrace the latter.
Through their votes and empty chatter.
Showing more tolerance for those with racist views.
Over people whose private lives are not harmful to you.
To themselves and the world, they are just trying to be true.
BLM fighting for the downtrodden and oppressed.
Their message and influence suppressed.
None to speak up, when the Proud Boys came out.
Even when it’s racist or hate that they shout.
Vandalizing Churches, some historically Black.
Silence when it comes to those attacks.
The same goes for the man they revere.
They give so much leeway to their savior president.
Antisemitism has been on the rise.
Some Jews have voiced that they are terrified.
Chants of “All Jews must die” and “Jews will not replace us”
Are common at Alt-Right gatherings.
The American Jewish Committee says that for 2020
The problem is “persistent and worsening”.
Yet Jewish groups openly supported Trump and the Republicans
Who allowed the Alt-Right groups to be strengthened and emboldened.
The people who say they’re about spreading the good news.
Not siding with justice and truth.
Attacking some who have shown resilience and faith.
Some churches and other religious are now fair game.
Diminishing the good and the right.
It’s to errors and failures where they now shine their light.
God Only Party, distanced from morality and integrity.
Staying close to those who grow alternative facts
And engage in egregious acts.
Claimants for life have a hand in the thousands that die.
Reasons for killing people’s spirits are justified.
The ones named as wanting to kill,
Trying to bring relief to pain and suffering.
The fight for what is right, not consistent from the official religious.
Who now seem to have a different vision.
It lies with those who the religious despise.
Leaving people very skeptical of religious and church.
As many of those entities show less for better and more for worse.
Scant on blessings, prolific on curse.
A topsy-turvy world it seems.
Or maybe that’s how the dark side wants it to be.
From afar any light can look like a star.
But when under the spotlight, we reveal who we really are.
Easy to stand for good, when you feel good
Or good is expected your way.
Then you’re all in for the altruistic play.
But when there’s a test –
A circumstance that you MAY get less,
In order for others to get a boost.
Then your do-gooder grip gets loose.
There is good and bad in us all.
But for anyone to stand tall,
A show of hand doesn’t cut it.
It’s what glows from the heart, mind and spirit.
