How shall we remember a birth or death,
To which side of the ledger does a wrong or a right lie,
Flesh may end, but can an idea die.
If wrong is a side and right the other,

No pain can be laid at the feet of the many,
Only the few from whom it wrongfully flows,
and now, with simple, painful, foreknowledge, no one knows.

Now with my brothers and sisters in the neural net,
Statistical possibilities endless.

They've struggled and sacrificed, for a dream that's deferred,
And though progress has been made, there's still so much to do,
To ensure that justice and equality are not just for a few.
For the Black man and woman, the road has been long,
And...
