We must forgive those who shackled and chain us forgiveness the bridge we must cross.
Different lands tongues and people we all should be treated equal--" the Lord reigns,
let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice"
DISTANT SHORES
There comes a time when we all leave our first home;
Some by boat or ship on coarse on waves of unknown;
What am I to do, Oh!;
Some gathered as friends or foes;
Some came as rich freedmen others as slaves;
Woe to them incarcerated, Woe to those wave;
Blue waters ripple against the brown/green beach head;
Those enslaved men some below dead;
Freedom waves wail six feet rises;
Freedom sings from different languages;
As the tide comes at it's final roar;
The ship docks at distant shore;
