HAPPY JUNETEENTH

Red, black and green
PanAfricanist's dream

Celebrating Juneteenth
Hue mens set free

End of slavery
Or so it seems

Except the thirteenth
Has loopholes beneath

Shackles and chains
Today on our brains

Torment sustained
Epigenetic remains

So many slain
Soil is stained

Clinically insane
Pain retained
