nobody 

asked...

 

to be used, 

 

beat down 

 

or abused... 

 

to make others 

 mistaken identity

possible

...the ruthless acts, 

you'd expect... of an enemy 

 

...simplified, illusions...

 

make their life

...great... 

 

spreading lies, 

demanding tithes... 

from the very ones

they put a price...

on their very lives

 

...to criticize 

when

they imagined...

they were

beginning

to overcome

 

to lift their sights...

to love, again

 

whenever, 

 

the natural rise 

of men and women 

of color...

would occur 

despite the fact

they'd endure 

the indignity 

of serving

without their needs 

...being served... 

imagined them...

getting out 

of their place... 

 

their solution

 

...hate... death... 

intentional suffering, 

 

creating distrust 

and spreading ...confusion

 

 

we must... allow those

whose sacrificial efforts 

proved worthy... 

speak to our hearts 

 

as we... too, must

do our best to 

understand...

 

...the task at hand... 

 

and

 

 

 

Continue 

…the struggle...

 

 

Tradition… calls… 

We are no less threatened...

now, than... then

 

 â€¦as our now 

ancient ancestors...

 

Driven to address the thrall 

were inspired ...to 

answer the call...

 

…As...

We rise… 

amidst the flood 

…of evil men…

Turn …against the tide 

…of lies… 

When …one 

leader falls… 

 

Two or three 

more, stumble… 

…fumble or bumble 

 

…many others will rise…

 

To continue 

the momentum...

 

To

set the pace

 

 

We 

desire truth, 

wisdom, honor 

…and humility...

 

To serve the collective 

To live our lives honestly 

…and work steadfastly 

 

Moving forward 

to 

…a worthy objective

 

Although 

we may not always 

…agree… 

Upon, how 

we get 

there

 

We 

…will… 

 

Continue 

…the struggle

 

…For …it… 

 

To 

 ...be
