AN AFRICAN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE: 2025
As Garvey echoed,
Only we can truly
Interpret our own
True reality:-
Thus, let us get to
Today’s above-ground
Railroading of ourstory
Engine-recking the lies
Of klan-hooded history:-
Jim Crow based history,
Clearly blood-inking
The political reality,
That America was,
And never will be,
A haven for the ebony-hued
Multi-generations of Juneteenth
Heirs like those of you and me:
We being infected with mental slavery:-
And the maintenance Aaron of this
Infected historical syndrome oppression,
Is what laid down the foundation
For political oppressors to pontificate
America being such a great nation:-
Thus, from the view of ourstory,
It’s historically why we should worry,
Today, we hear that blasphemous echo,
“Come, let us make America great again!”
However, what we need
To do again, in renewed testimony,
Is to reassure becoming a unified nation
Reflecting the home of the brave and free,
Living desired lives of peace, love, and unity:-
Let us once more and again, sacredly become
An endeavor to be a nation of caring people
Seeking to become a land of free humanity,
Where there is freedom, justice, and equity:-
Indeed, with divine wisdom and guidance,
Let’s seek to not only sing our Anthem,
But to daily live out its guiding words
In united, god driven labors of love;
Protecting ourselves and all who
Come to contributing to being
In a multi-ethnic democracy
Of oneness and onement:
Oh, what a onederful
Perceived, colorful perspective,
To be achieved by us!
