Speak UP and SPREAD it !

Times Filled with darkness, sweat, motivation, and TEARS!
Thank God... Things have progressed over the past years…..
From marches and rallies
To dead bodies lynched, and beatings in allies
Oh Goodness gracious!!!
Dear Mr. Free-DOM, and Ms E-quality, oh have we yearned for thee...
But them….they no nothing well cares anything about that...
Day in and out... We yearned for ya’ll presences
In hopes of untangling the minds of these cruel individuals…
But, NO! No one known’s the essence...
So let me, yeah ME, tell YOU….
Our journey for togetherness, love and trust….
All of which had once been denied and swept away...like month old dust
We overcame that though !
With Strength , belief ,and way more !
But who would of guesses…
Not me, not even you...
That a country SOOOOO strong, and Independent could lay the BEST...
Dr Mr. Freedom, and Ms Equality, we’ve marched, been imprisoned, kept our seats, and cried…
Oh have we been put to the test... Only God knows where we would have been without …
Those who died!
Civil rights movement, amongst us Africans …. Well African “Americans”…
We must spread, spread to future generations the ESSENCES, THE ESSENCES
Of our civil rights movement…
I mean who can stop US???
No wait…
Who can blame US?
Us Africans … well African “Americans” that is…
