UNBOWED.

UNBOWED.

Regardless of the infarction you say she is guilty

Where were you when she committed them?

And why didn’t you squeal then?

Are you just going along with what seems popular to spout?

You too need to be properly aligned…

follow the trend  and you will be politically correct.

or is it that you want to sound as if you are in the know.

the plantation gates were flung open, every man for himself.

A wise woman told me,

Stand for something lest something stand on you”.

No need to be popular.

Take a stand,

take a position or shut up, was what she said.

I stand with her on the principle that she has

done more good than what is harmful.

I stand with her because she has a genuine interest in

“We the people for the people”.

I stand with her because she has been there from the early days,

I stand with her because she has devoted her youth to the cause of humanity and that was not then, or now a fashionable thing to do.

I won’t stand with the new comers seeking fame and additional fortunes.

I won’t stand with those who would set about dividing my clan,

Abusing my sex,

Denying me a voice, I will not stand for that.

I will not stand to seek favors and lofty seats

I am unbowed, my dignity matters.

I am unbowed though the color of my skin is scorned and I am judged by it

I am unbowed though you continue to shoot my brothers and hang my sisters.

I am unbowed though my wages are scraps however long and hard I toil

I am unbowed though my friends are called ‘strange fruit’ and beaten to death.

I am unbowed when you threaten to send me and my clan back across the border

I remain unbowed though you deny my people health care

I remain unbowed with my dead child in my arms, I could not afford a CATH SCAN

I am still unbowed though you experiment with my genes to sterilize my womb

I am unbowed though my sons and brothers return from wars crazy as critters and get no help

O my God!homeless-844215_960_720

I am unbowed because my poor white neighbor is now homeless

The children are in several homes. I am weary visiting them,

I remain unbowed.

Barack Obama they cried, a savior?

No a man. Unbowed and bold.

How they vilified him. Unbowed but cracked with pain he remains

Unbowed,

I remain unbowed. I must.

Take a stand

Give the lady a pass,

Together we will all go across

Unbowed.
