Short Poems for Black History Month

Short Poems for Black History Month"

The total of my days lies tormented still
Deep inside these eyes
A wound non-healing
Feeling eternal depths of silent moans
Where history left its scar
Sunshine on my face
Face another day-no pain
Just memory
Painful memory
Refusing erasure

I see you share a dream
I see generations inspired by your dream
I see your dream inspire all
All

It was not all in vain
We win now the battle you fought
So free are we now,we create our own chains
Binding brother on brother
Enslaving
Too free we are
And the long road that here led us
Forget

"More powerful than truth is the story"
My story-struggle?
Your story?
Our story...
Black History.
Heed the lessen
Fuel ambition with thoughts of those
That sacrificed all
That we could be free
That is
Our Story
