Poem: Fulfillment

Published Jan 23, 2012

The black man has arisen


To his true inheritance


Of the noble warrior


With victory in his hand


He did not allow his neck


To be chained to the past


Of his pain


Becoming a victim to shame

From every lie that tried to define


He now regally arise


No longer languishing in the darkness of soul's nights


Mourning prejudices that confined


His name, his race, his face


For he now finds his place

His descendants must no longer use


History's excuse


Not to succeed


And exceed


Their highest potentials


Inspiring the evolving generations


A new foundation is laid


A new history is played

Again... the black man has risen


Beyond his pain


Turning his shame and the curse to his name


Now healed from the limp of being lamed


By history, by slavery, mockings & beatings


Into victory he strides living the delayed dream


Fulfillment of destiny... he is freed.
