(Ecclesiastes 7:10) AND ON SUNDAY





THERE ARE THOSE AMONG US
WHO WISH FOR SIMPLER
EARLY TIMES

WHEN WHITE WAS WHITE
BLACK WAS BLACKS
AND THE BLACKS KNEW THEIR PLACE

ON SUNDAY WE SANG THE LORDS PRAYER

WHILE CHURCHES WERE BOMBED
PEOPLE WERE LYNCHED
FIRE HOSES AND DOGS
WERE TURNED ON PROTESTORS

ON SUNDAY WE SANG THE LORDS PRAYER

WHERE CHILDREN WORKED IN FACTORIES
WHERE WAGES WERE
WORK ALL YOUR LIFE
AND DIE POOR

ON SUNDAY WE SANG THE LORDS PRAYER

WHERE RICH MEN’S SONS
WENT TO COLLEGE
POOR MEN’S SONS
WENT TO WAR

ON SUNDAY WE SANG THE LORDS PRAYER

WHERE RELIGIONS
CONTRIBUTED TO DIVISION
WHERE JUSTIFICATION FOR EVIL
WAS SOUGHT BY BIBLICAL SCHOLARS

ON SUNDAY WE SANG THE LORDS PRAYER

WHERE WATER FOUNTAINS WERE SEPARATE
BATHROOMS
SCHOOLS
WAITING ROOMS
HOSPITALS




WHERE LIBRARIES WERE DENIED
AND CHURCH DOORS CLOSED

ON SUNDAY WE SANG THE LORDS PRAYER
