DON'T MOURN ME YET...CHILDREN

CATEGORY

life

Views: 460

Been stomped, kick and beaten to the ground;
But don’t mourn me child; I’m not yet dead.
Comatose…maybe…but I’m still around;
So don’t count me out; count your blessings
instead.

Been chocked, hog-tide and dragged through the bloody
streets;
I’ve been slapped, shot, spat, pist upon; but still
I survive.
Had cigarettes put out where my ebony thighs meet.
But don’t mourn me yet; I’m hope and I’m still alive.

Despite the trials, tribulations, trepidations and the blood
that’s shed,
Do not succumb and wallow in despair; with head held high,
Square your shoulders and stare adversity straight in the eye;
Rip the veil of fear; let your light shine; remember the blood
the ancestors bled. 

So wipe away the tears, my dawning darling
dear;
I’m the father of hope and I’ll  always be
right here.
