Just For The Record
Suspected slain sable souls’
bodies lay lead loaded
in the street;
not news now—
Elections erase extermination.
Time to tender
the retaking of the white house
built by bending black backs.
First lady president
will not set another precedent.
Equal sable soul status
Was never what the DAR meant.
Though First Lady by protocol;
A VP no sable soul sister will be.
N.B.: Shall we go and be like
the last of the Mohegan;
or shall we arise
with new attitudes—
new mind and body responses
the new situation in the land
will demand?
Selah.
