Monkey Say…Monkey Do

Sticks & stones may break our bones &…now, the truth.
I choose tempered facts for a man killed uncouth.

He preached biblical hate, racism & guns.
Defender of none but white christian male sons.

But wrong is wrong & it is on us to fix.
With our votes, protests & litigation mixed.

Violence ain’t an intellectual resolve.
Those who resort to it can only devolve.

False; if said rhetoric’s not part of this cause.
Also, fueled by our toothless gun safety laws.

Free Speech should not die for hate’s voiced commitment.
Maybe just start with the second amendment?

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
