I want to travel South
I hail from warmer lands
the South is in my blood
I do not feel the shame
I hear forbidden words
I know that hate abides
it is alive on main street
in remnants of bigotry
the lynching has stopped
but not the rage of evil
I roamed the bitter cold
for consolation
I want to travel South
I may not have the time
I want to see if change
has come to bless the river
