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

Accepted a prize
The preacher paid his life for
An athletic man

Basketball courts daily
Is like Santa Claus “making
His list and checking it twice,”
