Evolution Of U S Slavery - Once Of The Body, Currently...Of The Mind Poem by James B. Earley

Evolution Of U S Slavery - Once Of The Body, Currently...Of The Mind



'ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL'
...Declaration's..storied creed
Yet proclaimed the Indian...'savage'
….As the document….boldly reads

Ominous words..from Founding Fathers
......Ideals derived mores ago
Independence Hall's jaundiced memories
...Persistent amidst recurrent woe

Of racism..bred...within whose walls
SLAVERY'S birth its wisdom wrought
….Stolen land……abject bondage….
America's INDEPENDENCE..bigotry bought

'Tis sad truth....to an anguished people
...Hostility reigns the atmosphere
Though our bloodlines intermingle
...Why still the HATE..of yesteryear
*
*
...Need WE gather...at yonder river
Embrace miscegenation's historical CREEP
...DNA reaffirms its resolute science..
Irrefutable evidence..WE'RE BROTHERS deep


Author's Note -

Mission Statement:
A melding of nefarious American history, we are by circumstance a mutually inclusive ethnic society of Blacks and Whites 'genetically' bound one to the other in blood dependency. Obliterating 'slavery of the mind, ' our spiritual quest; economic survival, our critical purpose.
