If only the cruelty
Of slavery had seen
The attention that present day
Pandemonium has gleamed!
Oh, the Civil War was about
The economy too;
Not the evilness of slavery!
But then as now, history
Continues voiding itself
Of ourstory and the disparity
Flocking and nesting
In the hued community:
Oh, if only this nightmare
Was just a dream…!?
