A Poem by Joe Navarro
(For Colin Kaepernick)
|
|
Stand up!
They say
Or we will
Shame you
Intimidate you
Threaten you
Harrass you
Call you names
Burn your uniform
Incite others
Against you
Unleash bigotry
Demand that
You give up
On equality
Constitutional rights
And justice
They say
In the name
Of patriotism
