Wandering Thoughts of Liberation

CATEGORY

The King is dead and Malcolm too;

Those who are left include me and you.

Now is the time brother, what shall we do?

 

The Black Power Stokley left behind

Is gone into decline; faded away—

No one remembers Kwame Toure.

 

Pass the White House today.

You know what they say:

“The more things change,

The more they stay the same way.

How strange.

 

We are back at the day of no;

Back to where they called our place.

They took the ‘yes’ out the day before;

Today we remain a struggling race.

 

Emerald time fades to onyx night

The yoking sun shines on the brave

Energizing ebony warriors of the fight;

Least we chose to die as a slave.

 

As strange as this all may seem,

Know these are not words of a dream.

The enlighten know what they mean;

Freedom remains to be redeemed.

 

To be or not to be is not the question.

Ours must remain total liberation—

Freedom awaits its full restoration:

Thirst of the children await its libation.

Indeed, love_supreme. Thoughts continue to wander and the children continue to thirst. We must continue to dip the buckets into liberation's flowing wine. Thanks. Peace and Love.
