When A Hero Falls
When a hero falls
Can you feel the
Pain
Do you double
Over
Or hide your
Face in shame
Do you shed
Tears
For his or her cause
Or do you Just
Sit there feeling
Nothing at
All
Did you Cry when
Martin Luther King
Died
Do you remember
When Huey P. Newton
Lost his
Black Pride,
Can you tell
Me
Why Malcolm X
Was murdered
Why he died
Wanting us to
Love each other
I think of
Every Black
Man or Woman
Who has fought
For my rights
And thank them
For not being
Afraid to
Stand up
And use their
Might
Even though
They have fallen
I keep them in
My mind
And in my
Heart
Letting you know
That you are
Not the end
I am just
The start.
