PSA WORDPLAY
I'll never judge another based off the color of their skin
The content of their character displays what's within
That's my paraphrased quote from Martin Luther King
Whose wisdom and understanding conveyed the same thing
But I will not be singing We Shall Overcome
I'd rather greet my enemies with a 50 round drum
So when they come with the smoke, I'll make 'em choke
You can bet your bottom dollar that I'll always go for broke
No joke, so take note, and proceed with caution
Or else it'll be me, not Covid-19, putting you in a coffin
I'm dropping a P.S.A. by way of my word play
Looking for something sweet? It ain't me, cause I'm far from being gay

MLK was never sweet--thanks for reminding me--he was the strongest force (and John Lewis with him) I'd ever seen. He learned from Ghandi and others, the power that is given to those who show the oppressors their superiority in the form of speaking to the conscience of the oppressor by displaying the true value of what is presented--life itself, the sacrifice of self for truth and justice. Thanks for making me remember!
