And this is what becomes of youth
Arm and arm with desire
Standing staunch facing abuse
Before a funeral pyre
Youth inbred with courage and past
Arm and arm with desire
Stand before weapons en masse
Falcons in loosening gyre
To see faces so young and unlined
Witness new history unfold
Is to know the past as so unkind
Lessons unlearned, agony untold
This is what becomes of a youth
Where bondage is original sin
Buried with denial at its root
As if the crime had never been
Not as if one turns a page
To find a new, happy ending
Black skin will always pre-sent rage
Some unfailing and unbending
Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on sites
I stumbleupon every day. It will always be exciting to
read through content from other authors and practice a little something from their web sites.
