The K Word … April 16th, 2019

THE
WORD
I lived in Nashville, Tennessee for nearly twenty years. Overall, I found it a very pleasant experience.
Yet seventy-four miles south of my home, on Interstate 65, was a town called Pulaski. It is the community where the Ku Klux Klan began. So most assuredly, confidently and sadly, I will tell you today’s word that should never be used again—the “K” that should not be spoken—is the Ku Klux Klan.
The K Word is the Ku Klux Klan
It’s not so much their views. I don’t agree with anything they say. Yet if they were coming from a position of personal experience, I might need to consider their perspective. But no member of the KKK has spent fifteen years playing in the National Football League, surrounded by black men. If they had done this and come out with a negative insight, then I would have to conclude that they had a right to their opinion.
Or if some of the members had lived in Israel for ten years and after the visitation, had stated that Jews were greedy and less than human, I might question their premise but certainly would have to acknowledge that they had been involved in a live-in experiment.
But there’s no member of the Ku Klux Klan who has spent any time with members of the black race or the Jews. They are not well-traveled individuals who, after careful research, developed a doctrine of the division among the races, with the hypothesis being that “white people are better.”
These are little boys and girls who were never allowed to formulate their own thinking but instead, absorbed the prejudice, anger and fallacious notions of their ancestors.
Unfortunately, these ancestors came to the conclusion that keeping their cotton crop in the black was much more important than the blacks who made it possible for them to have a cotton crop in the first place.
They are childishly ignorant—ignorant because the philosophy they cling to was long ago abandoned by people of reason, science and emotional well-being; childish because they’re still trying to please parental figures, aunts, uncles, grandfathers and ancient kin who held to a belief system that found its only power by leaving others powerless.
There is a school of thought that if you want to do away with the Ku Klux Klan, then let them speak their mind, let them be heard, and they will be revealed for who and what they are.
Unfortunately, unfoldings in our country over the past ten years tell us that giving breath to a murderer is granting license to murder.
This is why I’m saying the KKK should never be mentioned. It should not be discussed. It should not evoke either anger or apathy.
We should pretend that it does not exist until it’s so small that evolution can swallow it back into the earth—where it will finally die—with the graves of those who were once so presumptuous.

PoHymn: A Rustling in the Stagnant … June 22nd, 2016

To He Who Robbed Our Pulse
(Dedicated to the Souls in Orlando)
How easy it is to kill
To end the dreams of Jack and Jill
Who went to fetch some fun
‘Til confronted by your gun
Removing all their will
You claim faith in God
But then prove you’re a fraud
By destroying His greatest desire
You make the message a liar
Placing the young in a tomb.
Did anyone see your hate?
Could they stop the fate?
That crushed the hopes of so many
And produced the graves aplenty
Making the children helpless
It is time for a simple path
To expunge the bloody math
And let us look for a friend
Instead of promoting the end
Of God’s great human embrace
So as we contemplate the morrow
Let us rise from festering sorrow
And push to find something brighter
Lifting burdens, making things lighter
Listening instead of yelling
Laughing instead of cursing
And talking instead of shooting.
