Marcus Rashford is class

Warrior - wall worthy, ball sturdy 

Let them try to deface the brick and mortar 

But we will always stand with 

the black sons and daughters

of the hopeful immigrants that came

to this land 

And when you call upon us, we will 

take your hand One community, 

one wound - inflicted Condoned

by pitiful politicians with corrupt 

ambitions of culture wars,

appropriating scores 

when it suits 

[That's noise] 

The important thing is, 

we have not forgotten the kids

that you've fed, your English 

blood, red and the graft 

you gave to get us where we are 

Thank you, you star;

you're the very best of us

Thank you for sharing your poem. We here in the US are grappling with similar issues as well. A portion of our populace unable to grasp the ideas of diversity we are founded upon and their lack of human decency. But I'm an optimist and have hope we will get through this together. Shudder to think of the alternative.

And thank you for taking the time to read/review! I'm firmly in your camp Carlos; the negativity and intolerance will give way, we just need to be patient, loving and committed to driving these things out.

Cheers!
