We Need Freedom Now (The After Life Is Inevitable)
What a vile
and wicked wretch
you are---
oh I got
your twinkle
twinkle
little star!
And you wonder
why I feel
they way I do
about me and you.
As I said before
and say again
about the unforgotten
sin,
If I did to you
what you did to me
would not that be
reciprocity?
The truths
you hold self evident---
life
liberty
pursuit of happiness
justice for all---
was not
what
you really meant.
Despite conceived in liberty,
it remains a fact
because I was born black
this did not include
me---
despite the trials tribulations
and strife,
my freedom is still only in the nation’s
after life!

2b2b2 and Ladypoet45, thank you both for the feedback. Indeed, in death we are free of and from this side, but we must continue to fight to be totally while sojourning on this side. Peace, Love, and Equality.
