Send Thy peace to all this world, <br />Lord of nations and of man- <br />Where blood banners are unfurled. <br />In their wicked sinful den. <br />Sin may reign upon the throne, <br />In man's way of seeing right; <br />Thou art Lord in truth; alone <br />Thou canst set all sin to flight. <br />Black men crushed to earth each day <br />Raise a voice of pleading now: <br />Come good Lord we all do pray, <br />Make the tyrants humbly bow. <br />For since God is God alone, <br />And vile man is man for that, <br />And will not of self atone, <br />Treat him, Lord, as virus rat. <br />White is great upon the earth, <br />Greater than the King of Kings: <br />This is sin of human birth <br />That the white man daily sings. <br />Thou art made to be so white <br />That no black man has a claim: <br />Could'st this, God, Be ever right <br />That you made us ill of fame? <br />Thou art God in every way, <br />Caring not for black nor white; <br />Then, 0 Lord! look down this day, <br />Turn the will man Lo the right.<br /><br />Marcus Mosiah Garvey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-black-man-s-prayer/
