Double life
by Raymond Nat Turner
A family man
A lovely wife and
Two charming children
A religious man
Attends church regularly
Wherever he goes
A cultured man
Invites great artists
Over to visit and share
An educated man
Attended and taught at
Top Ivy League schools
An anointed man
Laying claim to lineage
Including Dr. King
A peaceful man
Accepted a prize
The preacher paid his life for
An athletic man
He runs up and down
Basketball courts daily
Is like Santa Claus “making
His list and checking it twice,”
Deciding who to kill this Tuesday…
