partiality

by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed — Read all 584 poems by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed

This is the fax I sent at 2:22 pm ET July 26, 2007 to Bob Riley, Honorable Governor of the State of Alabama, United States of America on behalf of stopping the killing of our brother poet, Darrell Grayson:

ATTN: HONORABLE Governor Bob Riley

Dear Governor Riley: I have roots in Crenshaw County Alabama. I am African & Native American descent. I am also a poet who has seen lives changed thru poetry.

Law of Life should be honored. Darrell can change lives because he is not a violent man.

Stop Darrell Grayson’s execution. He is good. Osama Bin Ladin is a violent man. Osama is bad.
Osama the one who needs to die, not Darrell Grayson.

Thank you.
Cynth’ya Lewis Reed, born in 1954 when Rosa Parks was locked up. Rosa, like Darrell, is making changed.

And now, let the poetic campaign against capital punishment on Authors Den begin! Let me know when you have posted a poem since I only track a few people due to time constraints. Thank you. cynth'ya

Criminal definitions

Always

Punish bystanding

Innocents who can

Teach us how we

As people of Life can

Live how we were meant to live, for

 

Partiality

Undermines the

Negroid stereotypical

Intellect that

Shows itself

Harmless in the

Midst of  political

Ego-manical

Narcissism by genetics

Today as it has in the past so

 

In spite of superifical

Sambo mentality there is still

 

Written on the lawbooks a

Righteousness most erroneous

Omitting the fact that

None of us is sinless!

God still judges us all. . .

Great message, hope the governor shall pay heed to it.

Acrostic is a brilliant touch, Cynth'ya. Message rings loud and clear!! With writers of your ability and dedication shouting from the housetops and speedier and more efficient identification of DNA {which both helps save some who were wrongly-accused and prove that capital punishment is a morally indefensible non-deterrent), surely more states will declare it illegal. Not fast enough, but. . .at least help turn the tide. For my part, I will see if I can come up with a piece about capital punishment that, while it won't come up to yours, may give a proponent or two pause. Thanks for pricking my conscience. Tell it, my friend. TELL IT!! <3 Pea <3

Good letter to the governor and your acrostic backs it up. Keep it up, cynth'ya.

Heartbreaking; sad when we are getting charged in killing the enemy while the enemy gets off scot free by using their own women, children, the HANDICAPPED as human shields! God help us, this should NOT BE!! We ought to be ashamed of ourselves for allowing this to happen; how about charging the ENEMY with murder?? That's what they are doing when they are killing our brothers and sisters who are only trying to protect us and our freedoms!!

Sorry for the rant, but you got me stirred up big time! About time! GRRR! Shattering, powerful read; thanks for informing and educating! Continue to do so, Cynth'ya!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

I haven't heard about this, Cynth'ya, but I do know our soldiers are getting charged with murder, when the enemy has no qualms about using their own children, their own women, their own mosques as shields. Damn shame. I will be reading more and letting my voice be heard.

((((HUGS)))) and love, Karla.
