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
