Redemption poems 

Re-opening
This time last year, the Mayor opened Franklin Park back up
Different organizations captured my middle finger going up
This company I work for never knew
I was a starlight
So they put me on the cover of their edition with this highlight
“Black lives are going to hell”
But I didn’t quote that
Is this too late to submit? (Oh well)
I said “Black lives matter” are going to hell
“All lives matter”
We check out well
It’s evident this Catholic school girl can spell
But can she get her life back
Only time will tell
They claim I switched my name a dozen times
Express yourself, Mama! (No one can read your mind)
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Love me or lose me

Protect yourself
PPE is still required
Pay attention to the health care
Our city is still on fire
The coldest one ever is off the leash
Do what you want, but practice what you preach
If you don’t work you’re considered a leach
Seek and you shall find
All lives matter
If you stay ready, it’s always crunch time
The proof is in the pudding
And the show beats the tale
Why in the world is “Black Lives Matter” going to hell?
Because God is like a dog (Dyslexia dog)
Colorblind and friendly
Take the signs down
It’s discriminating our city
Especially for our biracial little kiddies
No one race should be superior to another
Love yourself, but God says
We should love our sisters/brothers
Regardless of their age, sex, class or skin color
