If Only There Was a Fair Lady

No one seeks the Rose of Sharon,
despite her being declared as the maiden so fair,
by King Solomon,
The truth of the matter is, her complexion is not fair
enough, to give her cross-over appeal allowing the
Knights of the Round Table to "wheel and deal",
Yet, no one would dare say it is really that way,
for fear of being accused of bigotry and prejudice,
Despite her brilliance and favour from God,
The Rose Of Sharon was used and cast aside
as if she were manure or sod,

If only she were a fair lady she would have received
the world and all the help required to succeed,
but the color charts would not permit,
therefore, sensibilities took heed,
and great achievments from a rose colored wit would
not be seen,
because it would be unbearable to watch the raisin
in the sun preen.

One Voice

One United States of America for all,
Now is the time to stand up not crawl.
Each American is now against the wall.

Victory can be ours if we stand up tall.
Our ancestors rose up and heard the call.
Independence from tyranny, what they saw,
Collective thoughts rose up and became law.
Enthralled we have become, like a play doll.
