Old White Men
Old white men
With degrees Daddy bought them
Pretending they know something
Distrust all decisions
They never made themselves
They shun the poor
Because they don’t understand
They shun the “colored”
Because they don’t understand
They try to control women
In this land
Their aim
Make money
Stay in power
They don’t understand
Those things don’t matter
that
We are all children of the same God.
Older White Men
Their wives beside them
Called of God
Serve in His name
By His word
In the middle of the night
Awake receive and write
Revelation
Having trained themselves
From when they were young
To listen
A life of service
Navy suits
White suits
Ministering
One by one
Rich, poor, men, women, children
All colors under the Son
For they understand
We are all children of the same God.
