IF ONLY...WHAT...!?
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…!?

This nightmare is just a dream, so let's dream it away, dream something new, dream something better. Peace

Agreed; let us dreams that can be visioned into liberating realities. Then the nightmare simple an awareness of what it is that we need to be focused on doing. Thanks, bang'o lu. Peace and Love, M'Lowe.
