Sat at a window, with pig tails and a pink princess dress

The years were the 80's and the rhythm of hip hop bounced of the pavements, shaking car windows

People walked with fists down in peaceful protest against lanugauge used to defermate us 

We were one two colours all children believeing that witness would be no more to the floundering ignorant minded 

The skies soared with the love of the unknown of words of Jesus and Lepricorns, magic witches from Ireland with feet turned backward - Banshee 

Nights were hot chocolate and wishes for progress 

We knew all people were to fight the good fight in this we said

Yes - still my head is fallen

Appaling, tragic and yet a taste of ability to learn again

New leaders now

Our leader fallen 

 

Ours buried her soft dreadlocks curling to waiste in coffin 

With blue plaque for a husband alone. 

Years have flown and with might the fight must now be louder, stronger

I saw in whimsical passing a gathering 

Of Black Panthers, their children moving with proud Afros proud 

Dancing to a beat 

And smiles reach my heart that a legacy continues...
