Sojourner's Truth

They made Angela cry|

Placed Mumia behind bars|

Exiled Pete|

Huey die|

Murdered in cold blood|

Assata go underground and hide|

Kathleen seek foreign lands for the love of her man|

  1. The Black Panthers were an awesome revolutionary group. When I was in Elementary School, a teacher told me and the rest of the class that they were a really bad gang, LOL.

    I'm glad you have written a poem in memory of the persecution this group faced.

  2. That's what J. Edgar Hoover wanted people to think. They labeled them terrorist, when in fact he's one of the biggest terrorist to ever live!. This is why in don't watch the news. They seem to hate progress.

Inside Your Hands

Parables fumble in unprepared hands| Deprived of gifts bestowed to thee| As humans we seek shelter beneath a tree| When our feet become weak| And our needs extend beyond our means| As rain pours| It cleanses our soul| Dormant ideas start to grow| Yet we turn a blind eye| To what's before our sight| Taking the easy way| Shunning plights| Fighting is not a physical ordeal| It's more of a rejection to extol the almighty rule| Exploring alternatives to fables disguised as facts| Letters shredded in half| Eulogies embedded on a golden calf| The story was written for you to digest| The ending inside your hands| Inside your thoughts is the rest|

Spoken Word

A word once spoke is only heard through an opening in a cracked wall| Shrunk in the balance| Within strings moving from the wind's hold| Escaping push| Reinforced from strength of vibrations from a secluded silence|
