Black power…
The thought, the idea…
The dream …of it…
To recognize the responsibility
Make meaningful society,
Reasonably secure, understanding…
Rule by law…
Having the wisdom
...to learn it
Does not presuppose… it is easy
To possess the ability
To balance …and reinforce
The necessary power to enforce
The discipline to guide …and hold steady
The unifying voice …amidst the choice
Of making more, matter…
Than the lack …of interference…
In control …of dealings
Among people …whose feelings…
Don’t always coincide…
It will take more than pride
…to establish respectable
judgment
Among adversarial parties
The wisdom of Solomon…
Is needed…
Will we …all rise
Or everyone, remain seated…
Are we all agreed…

Who can imagine…
How can
People …who lack power
To elevate themselves
Above, beyond…
A pattern of circumstance…
Given no chance to do
Their own…
Rules
Rule… themselves
