Read Between the Lines

The ultimate test of the times: United in togetherness We stand tall with heads held high Shoulders back Chests out Lined up straighter than arrows With the forward mindset Locked and loaded on Our target for success! Deal with this they said: "Right is wrong and wrong is right Up is down, in is out What we once smiled at Is now frowned upon." Do I have your attention? We have been educated With the unbridled knowledge Of our ancestors and the experience Of our predecessors from the Injustice they've suffered But yet have soldiered on Valorous in spirit. Even though "Willie" still lives to this day. Giving up or out Isn't in our vocabulary One hand reaches out to the next And so forth and so on We came here together We fight here today We leave when tomorrow comes When there's no one left to stay When rapturous spirits Ascend into the Heavens Or the "syndrome" never again sees The light of day. Do I still have your attention? The reward is not a precious metal But the feeling in your soul As peace settles And takes residence in your life. Smiles and clear consciences Aid in the balancing of educating Youthful minds as they set forth On their journey through life. So when it's their turn to Be called upon to continue on They too will be United in togetherness Standing tall with heads held high Shoulders back Chests out Lined up straighter than arrows With the forward mindset Locked and loaded on Their target for success. "What's forward is now backwards It's every man for himself." Do I still have your attention? With one hand reaching out to the next And so forth and so on We have educated them With the unbridled knowledge Of their ancestors and the experience Of their predecessors from the Injustice they've suffered But have soldiered on Valorous in spirit. Because in today's world Where a society has embraced the negative Allowed the unjustified killing of innocents During "routine" traffic stops Forever traumatizing families and Blatantly decriminalizing witnessed guilt Where known killers still walk the streets And will never serve a day of time A truthful insight is the only way To keep our children ours. We shouldn't have to Read between the lines for anything But now that you have Isn't it worth your attention?
