Standup Blackman

Standup my Black Brother and walk that extra mile, because we now have a reason to stand tall and walk proud. Continue to Live, and dream the dream that you’ve hoped for, because in due time that dream would have become a reality. Knowing that within the debts of your hearts you’ve maintained your spirituality. Believing in the one that has formed you without blemish , who has loved, cherished, and created you in his own image. For Generations we have been brutally beaten, and treated as out casts. And even as in today’s time we're still repeating the past. No matter how hard that road is to travel, nor how rough that storm gets. Our gloriously victory will arise, and just over the mountain-top I can see the sunshine. Once again standing in the awe of harmony, singing and praising the sweet hyms of victory. Knowing that the battle was well worth the fight, and to all who have endured from the time of our grandparents continue to let that light shine so bright. Stand Strong Blackman and recapture your character! Proclaim the gift that was instilled in you and re-master Continue to strive for nothing less other than profection, and you will have accomplished a great deal and gained true satisfaction. And then you will have known that you’ve been put through a great test, Knowing truly within your heart and soul; you have done your very best. By William T, Murphy
