we stand for something
that’s necessary all the time
considered absurd by some
but in every aspect is sublime
the ultimate quintessential
protector of the physical and the mental
yet so transcendental
that it’s esoteric
and sometimes hysteric
to the neo-fascist mind
that mistakes our kind
for mere actors of child’s play
but be that as it may
we know that one day
the children of the cornbread
will stop chasing that bread
and start embracing the fact
that beautiful is black
and that our ancestors
worked hard in them cotton fields
picking cotton for the white man
tipping his hat to the Klan
while never knowing
that who’s really enslaved
is the master himself…
but anyway
what we’re trying to convey
is that we stand for justice
so we kneel like the brave

Truth to power, yes.

Speaking truth to power makes life worth living.

The master is enslaved in his wicked mindset. Justice is like the wind…….
Ricco Wright
Yes indeed. The master is more dependent than he realizes. And justice, to my mind, is a virtue.
Hannibal B. Johnson
That question, “Who’s the master; who’s the slave,” is one for the ages! Compelling.
Ricco Wright
One for the ages, yes, and worthy of examination too.
