Oppressed mud smashes
the wall of its freedom flow,
the collateral damage a mere
result of the political hindsight
of freely generated oppression;
Now, the twofold purpose of walls
exemplifies the American historical beginning
as an immigrant nation—immigrants invading
indigenous people’s homelands,
violently reducing aboriginal life
to near extinction and a zoo-like life style;
History has its tales of magic overtones
of political deceptions: now you see it—
now you don’t—the veil a walled deception,
seeking shutting out and shutting down reality;
(Slavery is a chapter told in History…)
(no longer a mystery…in Ourstory)
Awaken in the reality of Ourstory, we must realize
that in history little if anything has really changed,
saved the evidence that we keep getting stronger
and this chapter will surpass all testaments of hope;
Be not deceived—freedom is the child of labor
and we must endure the pain of her birth
that she may grow into her generation’s adulthood
and become the mother of everlasting liberation:
They just don’t know…Poppa and Momma
Got a brand new set of jubilee journeying bags!
