I Am Not Free

I am tough like Huey, I dream like Martin, I see like Malcolm, I stand like Rosa, I am educated like Booker, I am the stature of Fredrick, I am the embodiment of a civil right movement, But I am the reflection of history, I am the rebellion of Nate, I am a leader like Tubman, I am the community of Black Wall Street, But I am the audacity of hope like Obama, I am the most hated man like Colin, But I am the most beloved person like Nelson, I am the ascendant child of Africa, But I am a citizen of a nation that is United States, My oppression is of a third world, But I have an opportunity, I am from poverty, But that won’t stop me, Where I go, My people will follow, I am the example of greatness, But endure failures, I am victory like the revolutionary war, But I still have a long way to go to be free.
