The U.S started as rebelling colonies turned state with the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of property

And this promise was for wealthy white male elites of the era

All other forms of humanity were tools and given little regard

Black humanity was merely another beast of burden to the wealthy plantation owners

But the unstoppable flames of humanity worked to liberate Black humanity

In some states only, and even when in all states many were still shackled surfs

Seneca Falls with its Declaration of Sentiments was a bold declaration, for its time

How pallid it seems now for it took 71 years for the 19th to pass

And yet so many things are not yet done

A new ERA was upon us, but a Scholarly whose contempt for her sex killed it

Wet backs were the targets of contempt, when the bracero promise died

Fret not fret not for nuance in who is friend or foe or need fret not fret not

Just vanquish them 

Ferguson, what can be said about Ferguson's legacy

Jim Crow law, shootings and injustice

Baldwin, King, X/El-Shabazz Little Nine Rock

Bravery, power, the flames of humanity 

But far far away we are from the promise land

Violence, the breakdown of civil liberties, bigotry, and a decaying system

A Donkey without vision An Elephant with a demented vision

Oh Zarath where is the Bull Moose in these troubling times

But despair not we America are in the stage of an infant learning to walk

Many a times America thought itself an adult in an absurd world only to learn it has to be a child once more, this down going overdoing will continue until the end of America

More pain, death bigotry, tribulations of an unjust existence will be endured

But we have to be okay, if we are to redeem the ancestors and justify our descendants
