THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE US

Through passages of my thoughts I awaken my inner thoughts as I think about those that came before us, to many names to mention to many faces to remember like images embedded deep within the mind but never truly forgotten by some of us. But there energy still lives deep within some of us who still keep the hope and the dreams alive. For it is those nocturnal images that keep repeating within my mind of the struggles, that some of us have removed from the mere depth of our minds as some of us let society reprogram some our minds, keeping the blinders covering there eyes from the truth that has been covered up with fake lies. For the dreams they tried to create to give us a better understanding of what is truly life, but yet there are those who rather that the dreams never come to life with there negativity written with lies to cover up the truth that most of them would denie. For we were warriors and fighters as we were KINGS and QUEENS, but there are those of us who refuse to believe that we were nothing more but slaves. But what some dont realize we were bought to this far away land in shackles and chains upon ships across the seas, to do another race labor with no regards to what is our pain as they hang some of us from the trees even some of us set upon fire to burn like an display for all eyes to see. Mean while rapeing our womens and beating our mens with no feelings to the skin of thy flesh, but we were not totally free just living life as a slave taken from an land that produced real dreams of freedom build upon strength.
