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.
