[Vision2020] Charlottesville

Charlottesville

I saw Nazis march yesterday 
upon the streets of Charlottesville. 
And, with swastikas on display, 
crazed clansmen chanted blood will spill. 
 
I saw Satan grinning with pride 
at racial slurs shouted in hate. 
And, bigots standing by his side 
help the violence escalate. 
 
I saw torches light up the night, 
snaking through the black neighborhoods. 
And skinheads looking for a fight; 
all that was missing were white hoods. 
 
I saw white supremacists, proud 
of drawing blood and spreading fear. 
And a car plow into the crowd, 
its intentions made all too clear. 
 
I saw President Trump place blame 
on both sides for this killing spree. 
And, a shocked nation reel in shame 
at how prejudiced he could be. 
 
I saw the projected end of 
tolerance and democracy. 
And, mantras of hate replace love 
with smugness and hypocrisy.
