For the Full Healing

For the full healing to happen We must first acknowledge the whole truth 156 years ago A city, a community Was removed from the face of the earth Jealousy, envy A Black man, a white woman No one knows for sure What we do know Rape was yelled A riot, no a massacre took place 30 or 300 died. Maybe Mass graveyards made Yet no one knows where 3 living survivors All in the triple digits in age We owe it to them To get the story completely told History that has been silenced Must be told, and told now Because For the full healing to happen.....
