“Unheard Cries” (Exodus)
I sit upon the dirt of your ancestral grave
Thy hallow grounds where stories for your lineage time have paved
As an observer of life, I will never understand
How slavery, dividing the falling generation of child, women, and man
Chained minds dissuaded to read and slow to learn
How the Jim Crow era deterred
Then the civil rights movement manifested, society watched as sheets burned

Author's Note
The river flows at its own sweet will, but the flood is bound in the two banks. If it were not thus bound, its freedom would be wasted.
