Notes About The Poem

KEEPING HEALING HOPE ALIVE AND WELL 

(A LIVING EULOGY TO JESSE JACKSON)

 

Our hope is alive

In the healing grace of faith:

We shall overcome:-

Jesse’s chant nourishes us:

His spirit navigating:-  

 

Mentoring with King,

He canvassed the dream’s vision:

Barack…Chapter One:-

Keeping hope alive, let us

Start visioning Chapter Two:-

 

Our hope kept alive,

Resurrected and rising,

Vision two coming:

Red flushed out, and black poured in,

With justice and equity:-

 

It’s in alive hope, 

That true greatness is coming:

True democracy: 

Rest in peace, Jesse Jackson:

Your spirit lives on within us:-
