Poetic Verses
Determination
There is perhaps in this world in almost every nation
That can be seen in a sector of it government and population
Those representing that great continent, that African Diaspora
Descendants of those who lived and endured; that era of slavery's terror
But let's praise our ancestors braved those conditions
First the indignity of being forcefully removes from their homeland
They must have some determination, to resist that temptation
To jump into the ocean, thus avoiding such, in the arms of death's freedom
With a strong mind they show their captives an inveterate determination
By purposefully enduring and with that energy survive the inhuman condition
And no matter how much or what was done to demoralize them
Stood tall as that found that fortress from the fortitude deep within
Perhaps that spirit of being intrepid, has become something genetic
Many of us who are the descendants show that determined spirit
We have covered lots of bases, but are still trying to fill that chasm
Yes that one which is still is dug by those entrenched in racism.
Even though through time and ages there was stout resistance
But that determination has taken us over May a distance
This great record has demonstrated that we have the ability
To be comfortable in any post, no matter its level and intensity.
There will be no end to any form of hate or discrimination
But being blessed with that determination, fueled by ancestral oppression
There will be not rest until more inroads are made depicted by more success
So the message to the oppressor is that you doings have been the catalyst.
