Weaving the labyrinth
of the tyranny of time, let not
the chartered task waiting ashore
become a victim of the rising tides
of apathy between our temple pillars
of faith and hope.
Rather, in the due time coming let us
be anchored; resting our sails on the waters
of persistence and determination to stand
and do the right thing to return our nation to
its tenets of justice and equality.
Let us not allow the founding code of beliefs
on which the foundation of this country was laid
become mere footnotes to the keloid history that
certain historical tyrannies have overshadowed.
History—Ourstory—has and continues
to teach us many lessons; plain and simple,
as well as allegorically. Let her lessons be our
guide in dismantling bigotry and injustice;
recommitting ourselves to molding
a nation of peace, love and unity.
