The Emancipation Procrastination Poem by Poemahontas Poemadonna

Another delay
Set in our way
153 years later
And we continue to wait

They said change was coming
Another slap on the face
Our Savior is coming
We still continue to pray

We continued with faith
Yet never got a break
Blood sacrifices we make
How much more can we take

40 acres and a mule
That promise wasn't true
A promise to keep us cool
Denied from public schools

Still white supremacy rules
The ones that write the rules
If you're Black, it's not for you
FreeDumb, they think we're fooled

Abraham Lincoln's Letter to Horace Greeley

Here's some of Lincoln's words 8/22/1862


'If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.'

Washington, August 22,1862
