A Man of Faith

A man of faith, a man of faith—

I don't think we can deny that.

But did he use his beliefs rightly,

Or to hurt the afflicted in combat?

Did he bless those in poverty,

Including all those from other lands?

He need not believe in the gay life,

But did he treat them with good hands?

Did he insult Black leaders,

And oppose laws that helped Black people out?

This man of faith, this man of faith—
Had faults, I say, no doubt.
