Thinking about
White Men in White Robes
burning crosses
burning crosses
burning Jesus
lynching black men….
for being black men
for being free black men
Then going to their Churches
feeling they were doing
the work of their Lord
burning crosses
burning Jesus

Is this the same God
the same Jesus
What God, What Jesus
were they hearing
