Teach This Poem
TEACH THIS POEM
The smell of fresh flowers in the courtyard and
the sound of drum beats in the people's hearts brought
children to the school house ready to learn
A new concept to write from.
The excitement of a new event brings youthful ideas.
The tools and techniques of media clips and slogans are
expressions in the parade seen as the bands marched down
the city streets.
One banner read “Teach This Poem” while youth shouting out the words (and)
of instrumental people empowered through
cultural diversity and freedoms won via
the rights and privileges provided by our founding fathers.
Teach this poem of why this nation is immigrated formed
and the origin is only known.
Teach this poem during Black History month as focus throughout the year
for this and every history to preserver like the slave that rose-up against iniquity.
Teach this poem to mind-set the freedoms foreseen
and for the strength of all humanity.
TEACH THIS POEM!
