False Equivalence

I do not tell you turn the other cheek
But I will note whose cheek it was was struck;
And who among you terrorized the weak--
Who was slimed, and who supplied the muck.
My eyes can see the difference between
A lynching and a protest and a war
And while no hands are ever fully clean
Some bear a greater load of guilt and gore.
Do not pretend that those who protest you
Are doing violence in disagreeing
Or that the claim that they are human too
Is prejudice against your very being.
We all possess a joint right to existence
And, that denied, to vehement resistance.
