Maybe Not On The Bottom



They may not be on the bottom.
Or them seen on the top.
Maybe not anywhere,
There to be pointed out.
But they're there.
And prepared...
To stop,
Mistreatment found about.

Caring they do from head to toe.
One hundred percent.
They are there and caring.
Regardless if the people don't know.
Many unseen,
Are on the scene to witness and observe...
The mess and who created it.
Many unseen,
Care they do for all human beings.

Black, white, brown or yellow.
Many unseen,
Care they do for all human beings.

Call them what you choose to want.
But they're there watching closely everybody.
To believe it.
Or believe it not.

Don't look around at the bottom.
No need...
To look around at the top.
No need...
To pass judgement upon them.
No need...
Since they are here to stop the mess.
Done to do and this addressed.

Be you black, white, brown or yellow!
No need...
To declare your beliefs.
No need...
To persuade your faith to fake it.
No need...
For political deceivers.
No need...
For more hypocrisies.
No need...
For more hypocrisies.
No need...
For more hypocrisies!
