\nA village to raze a child
\nEvery won for themselves
\nOr as a klan
\nKnowing the deference
\nBetween black and white
\nThat neighborly tribunal
\nRuling
\nWhich neighbor is a keeper
\nAs much as we Cain
\nLike a serpent in the garden
\nTalking the talk
\n“Un-Abel”
\nTo walk the walk
\nThe deference between outliers
\nAnd out right liers
\nRecounting the truth
\nSo it adds up
\nAs much as we kin
\nAt least relatively sow
\nAnd when it peers strange
\nParticularly alien
\nWee
\nGo
\nThe nativist imagine Abel
\nA narrow brethren
\nAnd stingy cistern
\nSow
\nWhat
\nA bout
\nThe wrest
\nThe remains
\nScrapping fore help
\nAs goad Samaritan
\nAs if
\nMirrorly thoughts and preyers
\nBring them
\nToo heel
\nOr send them
\nTo the hinder lands
\nThe inscrutable ruse of engagement
\nOh happy day
\nMarred to the mob
\nThe obscurable
\nA veil
\nBettor to be kissed with a lie
\nThen hit with the truth
\nRather hitting them
\nWith a switch
\nOn the oft odds
\nHelp
\nMight be
\nImmanent
\nRight them
\nOff
\nSow short
\nAnd so long
\nTheir soul rec
\nIf you need
\nA hand up
\nWe will deliver you
\nJust arms up
\nAnd further if
\nHope springs
\nWade to Fall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
