Floating Adrift Floating My mind wanders Where did it go wrong? What changed for us? When did it all fall apart? How did our history change? From rulers of the cradle of civilization To being chained and herded like cattle No identity, no history, no name Adrift Disconnected from the past Mathematicians, builders, historians Kings, queens, royalty abounded No more Beaten, betrayed by our own Sold for a few pieces of gold Never to step foot in the homeland Never to see the motherland again Floating Trying to survive Lynchings, torture Outright murder Strange fruit Marching, sit-ins, freedom rides Mississippi burning Children slain Nothing changes Adrift Icons gone. Taken Martin Malcolm, Medgar Who will lead? Who will try? Move forward it begins again Children again pay the price Jordan, Trayvon, sandy hook Gone by the assassins bullet No one cares There is no threat The elders are leaving Who will be left to tell the tale? ©aa2014
