An Icon (Ms Angela Davis) Poem by THEODORE MOSLEY

An Icon (Ms Angela Davis)



Armed with intelligence and creativity she became a historic figure for justice.

Her life is now our battle cry for democracy that has imprisoned our souls.

Black and beautiful she ascends to the mountain of freedom for her people in chains of corruption.

Fierce and powerful she declares war on the nation of suppressors for our declaration of rights.

Her educated mind defeated the superior response of their incarcerated ways.

She was labeled as America's most wanted in the eyes of her captors.

She is loved by Black America as she withstood the incarceration of their domain.

Sifting through the bureaucracy of their truth she exposes their hidden truths of America.

Standing tall in her height as a soldier of independence she subdues their constitution.

Focus and unmovable her plight becomes substantiated with the movement of "say it loud I'm black and I'm proud".

With black pride and black love she dethrones the act of indignation with her beautiful words of coalition.

Young gifted and black she delivers her story of unspeakable chastisement that her mind overcame.

Saturated with freedom of education Ms. Angela Davis inspired a movement of social reform; an icon for generations to speak of.
