Poem
Run freedom child; keep thy body low amongst the shadows, Nay never look back, lets hastes speed excel your stride, For the devil’s steeds ride behind thee, and they’ll show thee No mercy, run freedom child, run, towards the distant horizon. Travel beneath the lunar light of the lantern moon, let its Rays of illumination guild thee, towards liberties jurisdiction, To the northern boarders beyond slavery's killing fields. Beware the night-stalkers whom ride by the white lightening’s Flash and sting at the bared flesh with the task-masters lash, Humanities wolf pack on a blood scent’s travel, biting at thy Unsaddled heals, Run freedom child, Run, for they are a Coming! Deep within the hollows divides listen to the whispering winds, It echoes with a low mournful tone, a sounding’s rheum vibrating, With a shock waves raw force of power, it is rails of freedom Burning towards thee, Harken freedom child, and listen to the Thunderous cries of the Underground Railroad. A payments ticket price, is the will to survivor as a free man, Stamped by the inner beating heart’s desire, to taste the air of Liberation, and to soar with his winged appendages outwardly Amongst kindred flock as equals. Beware my friend for far above thee, two birds of prey are At battles striking range, for your soul’s precious blood. Behold the southern night hawk, struggles to drag thee back To entrance of hells gates plantation, yet the great eagles Sharpened talons are driven deeply within its crimson bleeding Flesh of ignorance, biding thee time to flee to freedoms Safety zone. Run freedom child; keep thy body low amongst the shadows, Nay never look back, lets hastes speed excel your stride, For the devil’s steeds ride behind thee, and they’ll show thee No mercy, run freedom child, run, towards the distant horizon. All aboard cling to the iron handles of the freedom train, Ride by the light of the shivery moon’s lantern of illumination, And harken to the sounding’s echo of freedom’s distant winds, Calling unto the souls of all men to be free, to excel, and to Soar with the currents of equality as equals, amongst thee Brother’s kindred.
