Poem
Where does the country go from here?
There’s still remnants of anger, dejection and sadness
Continuing to ponder this mental madness
Our identity of blackness is about to come to the brink
As we ponder the negative results, just take a moment and think

The cultural struggle is very real
Yes, the repercussions are a big deal
Constant mistreatment, misuse and abuse 
Our shield of armor, we’ll introduce

As reasonable people prepare for the chaos
It feels like the weight of an albatross
The country is about to walk a path never seen
Lets not waste our energy being mean

This nightmare will encompass the good
Next steps should be clear and not misunderstood
Working together collectively and collaboratively is our strength
Cohesiveness is the key, to stay on the same wavelength

A defeatist attitude in these times are counter productive
Negative thinking and negative actions will be destructive
Life is about making the change you want to see
The results you expect is no guarantee

Perseverance is about keeping it moving
Constantly evaluating your situation, ensuring that it’s improving
Closed mouths never get fed
Take positive action and don’t settle for the dread

These trying times ahead, will require a show of empathy
You choose what will be your destiny
Let us not dwell on the heartbreak of the past
Get involved with achieving the next task

Seemingly, others will try and strip away our rights
Keep our eye on the prize, that’s in our sights
Don’t become annoyed and unconcerned with complacency
Always comport yourself with grace, tenaciously

The construct of thought here is not about the black or white race
The struggle is about making the case, that all humans can embrace
Stand up, Rise up, Show up, come together and fortify in unity
When we are on one accord, that only strengthens our community

There is no race that’s superior
Don’t ever think or feel inferior
Our plight has always been about survival
Being present, getting our voices heard is vital

Nothing is ever easy for an invincible people
We only demand to be treated as equal
Don’t misrepresent our character participation as a handout
Hardwork is not disavowed, but pronounced, no doubt

Tough challenges are the ultimate test
When faced with the unsurmountable, we do our best
Take one day at a time, to avoid the stress
God will do the heavy lifting, as we make progress

Unexpected results, shook us to our core
Seeking a remedy of resolution, we can’t ignore
We are currently in a period of transition
Together we stay the course to complete the mission

Coming down the pike is a thunderous impact
Nothing about the implications are abstract
The rocky ride ahead is full of turbulence
We must guard our sanity, while enhancing our intelligence

The fight continues, learn, reflect and act
The cards we’re dealt, are always stacked
Don’t misunderstand concerns, for complaints
No matter how hard we try, there’s always restraints

What’s done today is a predictor of the future
Don’t quit the charge, it’s not time for the rapture
Whatever approach we embark on, must have structure
Move strategically with purpose, not to tarnish the legacy and culture
Where does the country go from here?
