The Children of the Flesh Gain the World, But…
by Sabrina Dawkins
They rejected God.
Reddish-brown children instead
accepted paper from the Joker, who said,
“Everything burns.”
White skin and a smile, however,
convinced the carnal offspring
all would be fine:
nice cars, attractive armpieces,
restaurant food, fine wine,
mansions, private jets.
Esau’s progeny became Jokers also,
Two-Face Harvey Dents.
They were Martin Lawrence
in Bad Boys II,
who found his fortune
in a nice casket.
