Using A Whip

Whips are used on animals and also on slaves To send out commands and people to their graves, They are used to show a master's power So, unto their presence the abused will cower. They are used in violence and also to tease and taunt To get the afflicted to obey with the desire they want, They are used mainly by small-minded angry people The same who can't scream Christianity from a Church's steeple. They dole out punishment to push animals and people on They are used to relieve their own irritation through brawn, And when those tormentors get home at night They truly praise themselves while believing they did right. A whip was used on Jesus Christ our Lord As he was restrained and tortured and mocked for our heavenly award, And as Jesus died he forgave the evildoers of that great sin As they whipped and tortured Jesus with smiles and a grin. A whip in the hand of a white man embodies the antebellum south With racism and hate spewing like vulgarity from a bullies mouth, Those who use a whip on a human being is more than evil It causes rebellion, and surely an upheaval.
