The Appeal Poem by jackie compton

Hear me.
Oh! Great Spirit Father.
I stand before you in the shadows of the mountain of justice.
Where you hand down your laws to all mankind.
With many question and very few answers.

I appeal to you.

Oh! Great Father of all mankind.
Help me make those that want to be masters of
all mankind understand.
Justice without truth is no justice at all.

To impose upon my people or any people restriction.
Denying them the right to move freely about.
Is a far greater evil than trying to make the river run.
Back into the mountain in which it came.

I appeal to you.

Oh! great Spirit Father.
Even when I thrust.
Do not permit me to drink from injustice bitter
cup of water.
