Abraham Lincoln Never Lived To See... Poem by Terence George Craddock

no time never lived long enough
to aspire to life achievement apex
peak attained Rocky Mountains summit height
peak traverse Rocky Mountains summit height

African American law owned
branded sold property slaves
were finally in red riverblood
Civil War horrific slaughter freed

blood price African American law owned
branded owned profit sold property slaves
rebellion finally in red riverblood flood
rift scar Civil War horrific slaughter freed
