Heir apparent …
Of the brave …the bold, the free…
In flight along a pathway …in time…
As it rises, before us
To deliver …whatever hand we draw…
Which holds the truth …to our destiny…
The nation …of lives, black
Under attack… by the combined might
Of grand larceny, bigotry…
Of corrupt intent…
Which did not repent …when defeated…
Slithered back into the morass…
To continue their foul game…
Like a jealous …fool…
Who would destroy…
What could not be controlled
Unable to contend
With shifting roles
From soon after
The dies were broken
The skies grew dark
…and rising tensions
Created
An unrelenting wave
…of ill intent…
Of those, who…
Refused to abide
By having those
They’d formerly owned
Rise and not only walk
Among them
But to compete …and thrive
…unbroken…
