Like The Son Of Man Poem by Saiom Shriver

Like The Son Of Man



Blacks were freed from
the worst kinds of slavery
by the Civil War.

Yet in the last 150 years
they could be shot just
by entering Mormon Utah.
Black men could be lynched
for smiling at a white woman.
They could be arrested in certain
towns for DWB (driving while black) .
They
were denied
water, a bathroom,
certain modes of transportation
when traveling. places to swim,
access to
good schools, a place to
sleep in many towns.

'Luke 9: 58
Foxes have holes, and birds of the air
have nests; but the Son of man
hath not where to lay his head.'
