Juneteeth
A Poem of Remembrance
We must know brothers and sisters that slavery
is not just a physical bondage, it is a dramatic process
that robbed generations upon generations
of their rights and dignity. It is a form of
exceeding violence against humanity.
The cruelest form of abuse of power and
though its seem endurable, it is not endurable.
And to every good citizen who believes it is over
let it be known that slavery can trapped the very thought
the very minds of the people it has enslaved and their offspring.
We must ever question our actions as well as other action.
Is it rooted in justice? Is it rooted in love of humanity?
Be ever viligant, be ever aware, and understand each other place
in the Great Society and react according to code of morality.
It did not take a day to be free but centuries.
We must resoundly celebrate and preserve its memories.
