THE TWO SIDES OF IT ALL

                           PART I

This may be a winter of many grievous

Hailing discontents,

But we must assess with pride the progress made

Despite current devastating events;

With equal pride, faith, and determination,

We must keep the focus on the final destination:-

Let us be forever mindful that the coming liberation harvest

Will still need our attention;

Thus, let us prepare to sojourn triumphantly with our hope

And faith renewed and strengthen.

Therefore, let us remain focused on the present oppressive realities

Heaped upon us;

As we continue—in this and the comings seasons— sojourning our

Liberating exodus:-

                             PART II

They say we ought not to focus on seeing things as they are—But as we are

Thus, here we are—American branches with African roots—surviving here

In a deceptive black-deforestation society and its exterminating ways

With respect to the realization of the oppressive ways things are as they are:- 

Beloved, consider the following and the way things are today and where we are:

Recall the Preamble to the Constitution of the land of the brave and home 

Of the free;

Recall the daily said Pledge to the red, white, and blue symbolic flag of its divisible representations;

Then recall how—today and every day—things really are with us here Being as we really are:

Lifting our voices and singing a song of liberation as we trek onward up 

To The Top of Mt. Freedom:-
