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
…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
