Dear Current America Poem
By Jerell Erves
Dear Current America
This poem is for you, for all citizens from Ali, Carlos, Susan to Erica
I said I’m talking to all citizens
Inhabitants, residents and denizens
We need righteousness
Which is only through Jesus the king of kings the heavenly highness
He is the medicine
For our many sins
He can heal this sin sick nation
We also need to respect and love each other
Yeah, I said respect and love I didn’t stutter
We need to come to Jesus and learn how to treat our enemies like a beloved sister and brother
And we gotta get racial justice through reparations
For all the forced free labor blacks experienced which was straight exploitation
Plus for the land theft Native Americans experienced which was straight depredation
Both groups went through alot of pain and suffering and unjust punishment
From an unjust country and federal government
So spread the word about these issues and remember them when you pray
Because righteousness, respect and love and racial justice can improve America today
