"...Brighter Day by Buddy Don"

If Ever We Would See a Brighter Day

Who are these evil-doers on the television news?
And what could make them go so far astray?
Are they primeval monsters that crawled up from the ooze –
Genetic defects who were born that way?

....

I smiled after reading this poem's ending, "We all must teach our children such evil to refuse If ever we would see a brighter day".

Then I surfed some more only to find Black Children ordered to the back of the bus in Louisiana. My smile disappeared.
