Teach This Poem

TEACH THIS POEM The smell of fresh flowers in the courtyard and the sound of drum beats in the people's hearts brought children to the school house ready to learn A new concept to write from. The excitement of a new event brings youthful ideas. The tools and techniques of media clips and slogans are expressions in the parade seen as the bands marched down the city streets. One banner read “Teach This Poem” while youth shouting out the words (and) of instrumental people empowered through cultural diversity and freedoms won via the rights and privileges provided by our founding fathers. Teach this poem of why this nation is immigrated formed and the origin is only known. Teach this poem during Black History month as focus throughout the year for this and every history to preserver like the slave that rose-up against iniquity. Teach this poem to mind-set the freedoms foreseen and for the strength of all humanity. TEACH THIS POEM! _____________________________________________________________________| Written to commemorate Black History and every history known. Date: February 12, 2016!

HIStory, HERstory, OURstory....Nicely done Verlena, history becomes a part of culture, and culture often becomes "dogmatic". Would that we could appreciate the "culture" of past history and move forward.
