Just For The Record

Just For The Record

 

Suspected slain sable souls’

bodies lay lead loaded

in the street;

not news now—

Elections erase extermination.

Time to tender

the retaking of the white house

built by bending black backs.

First lady president

will not set another precedent.

Equal sable soul status

Was never what the DAR meant.

Though First Lady by protocol;

A VP no sable soul sister will be.

 

N.B.:  Shall we go and be like

the last of the Mohegan;

or shall we arise

with new attitudes—

new  mind and body  responses

the new situation in the land

will demand?

 

Selah.
