Click here to listen to Blackman Preach read this poem. Wisdom
A stature man once
told me that I have the voice
of many hypnotized by his
gray lazy pupils mirrored a reflection
of history’s past while holding his
staff—he paralleled it to the wisdom explained the
journeys the struggles the battles & the lives lost
in our advance toward social change & equality & must not forget
the sacrifices of our ancestors—for
to forget would
mean they
as well would not exist— it’s time to resurrect
the spirits of into men, women & children, so,
their stories will not die but live
in our hears & minds forever.
