Dragged Against My Will
A man was on his way home
to prepare for his daughters
graduation
he never made it
because of racial discrimination
walking down the road
with a heart beaming full of pride
for a child he sired
he could not wait
to open his arms wide
and loving hold her
telling her how proud of her he was
it never happened
BECAUSE
his body laid in pieces
along the road side
a joyous event
turned in to something
that induced many to cry
James remains were left in front
of an African American (black) cemetery
he went home to be with his LORD
let not your heart be troubled
work together to be on one accord
