Society's Burden Poem by James B. Earley

Should not society bear the burden
Of what....guilt cannot erase
Every soul a soldier fighting
On that battlefield of faith

Through example teach the children
That bigotry is simply learned
The passion will lay in ashes...ruined
With the book of hatred burned

And church pews on Sunday morning
Where segregation shares an equity
Will release God's name from bondage
...Then......only then....shall we all..be free
