Juneteenth

Justice delayed from fringed time frazzled cry Until the DREAM can heal itself and broken trust ******* shackled minds in the velvet shadows try Evolving with a nation drunken in bloody lust Trapped in tragedy of a blurred emancipation line Edged to the margin of Reconstruction, it tells Empty enactment lagging that Constitutional hell Nattering historic lies, blood and tongue dispels Truth against the moral lie, all brotherhood a shell Heaven's rich cause stumble in raged hearts to fill.
