The Changing Faces

I was in awe at the greatness of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright when he delivered that speech at the NAACP but shocked by some of the retorts he made in the question part of his address to the National Press Club. Why would such a brilliant man make such divisive comments at a time when we are fighting so hard to unite the races of the U.S.A. and the rest of the world? And to make such unfounded comments, like the association of the Government with the spread of A.I.D.S in the Black race. Did he even stop to think of the millions of White who died with A.I.D.S and the thousands of them who have no traceable unions with blacks?

 

The Changing Faces

They have trouble believing that 20 years ago

He was nothing like the man on that TV show

Except, I saw him just one day before

Cool, calm and collected, precise and sure

He was convincing and brilliant, with true artistry

And now, one day after, he was a mere mockery

Nothing had changed just hours had past

Got questioned about the YouTube broadcast

I was first impressed by his fluent parlance

Now he mocked and insulted then celebrated with a dance

God was his inspirer he said but did God change him this way

Fool them with academics then mock them the next day

And if in 24 hours such a change can be brought about

Could it be possible in 20 years he could work this out

Each of my friend behave different when they are around me

So is it not possible we all have a convenient personality?
