After grawing on a ear of corn, left over from Thanksgiving, I was inspired to spew out this poem. A book of history is soon due out, written by the moving hands of time. It's a saga where a lesson is taught about the discrimination of the Liberty Bell's chime. Slavery spread the span of its wings denying captives the privilege to hear the clarion clang of freedom's rings that cruel masters muffled with fear. As centuries of bondage came and went the weary trudged down the rough road. Though chins stayed up, their backs were bent working fields where hope, too, was sowed. After Abe's civil war ended in victory, loosened shackles exposed old sores made worse by the salt of bigotry flushing through emancipated pores. The long struggle for true democracy marched on in hard-pressed fights, until at last the battle for equality claimed triumph for civil rights. But racism was in no hurry to vanish, still creeping through all walks of life. White supremacy was difficult to banish, its effects integrated with strife. Then another century took its turn, And change sped up its pace, as power became the main concern in the form of a White House race. As this book draws to an amazing close, the presidential inauguration will install the wise choice of those who elected him the new head of our proud nation. The story's last chapter will inspire a glow, Offering an illuminating tale to critique. Were the characters bold, did the text have flow, was the style boring, or was it unique? How many stars will this effort earn? Is a thumbs-up what reports will be citing? Yes! A rave-worthy work is there to discern, And a sequel is there for the writing. All hail to the chief Barak Obama, who fulfilled Martin's wonderful dream! He became the hero of an incredible drama by defeating the opposition's team. You go, Bro. | ||
