Deep Within And About

 Deep Within and About 

The Jordan river flows,

In and about me,

My baptismal crucible,

Like my Lord was,

The Jordan river flows,

In and about me,

In and about me,

A wonder too wonderful,

Like all humanity can be,

The Jordan river flows,

In and about me,

From above and below,

Like my holy shroud.

It is something to be proud of. Or is it? This is a vignette of 28 pictures drawn by a White person who found time to depict different versions of the words “Black Lives Matter.”  A rt can be deciphered from a figurative or abstract style.
