Luke Easter Poems

A conviction of faith leads to a call for action,
In becoming the whole and not just a fraction,
I simply must not and cannot stress this enough,
You have to be all, not a part when times are tough.
...

Justice For Trayvon Martin is it long overdue?
Yes! According to those attempting to pursue,
A FBI investigation & resignation of the chief,
Rightly so as these are words of heartfelt grief.
...

Entertainment! Oops, gambling don’t put the cart before the horse,
At Las Vegas Motor Speed the power of which became deadly force,
How many occasions has IndyCar racing resulted in death? Seldom,
Tell the family of 2-time Indianapolis 500 Champion, Dan Wheldon.
...

Sixty hours and sometimes eighty at my peak,
I seldom ever work a regular forty-hour week,
My family together might I rarely get to see,
Neither can I relax just in case I have to pee.
...

Pastor in the pulpit, the Sanctuary, supposedly holier than thou,
Preachers wife is gunned down in cold blood, Ka-boom, Ka-pow,
Reverend’s son, a prior relationship, shoots step mom in the head,
Three on trial for murder might be more than the one already dead.
...

Blacks are born with their skin color, oh wait,
Hatred is based upon that race and not the sex?
Gays have chosen their lifestyle lest we forget.
...

Well, well, well! Now, if that just ain’t dandy,
They have eliminated the best dancer, Brandi,
In favor of awkwardness & no rhythm, Bristol,
It’s being in a war zone with an unloaded pistol.
...

Once, twice, three times, maybe more, tell me what went wrong?
No one is surprised about athletes but a pastor singing this song?
8,000+ members in sunny Florida, two locations, Zachary Tims,
Cocaine! Dead @ 42 preaching the word exactly how did it end?
...

Gloria gracious Gloria I would surely be in remiss,
Should I not ponder the good times and reminisce,
Winchester, Tenn. to Cleveland, Oh far from home,
Although gone but not forgotten never to be alone.
...

So much accomplished in 100 years, here’s a brief bio,
First Black to own a Shell franchise in Cleveland, Ohio,
At East 145th & Kinsman in the zip code area of 44120,
The year 1941 and long before MLK was tagged a hero.
