Long Walk 2 Freedom Its been a loooong walk From whence I came... Ventured too far away from paradise Against my will Mind you I say... Against my will Choke held until I resembled Eric Garner Until I breathed no more Until darkness fell I woke in another state... of mind Like an Alaskan night Cold Never ending Too long walking Bombs bursting in Air... Jordan River I wanna wade Soul damn near gone Some thousands of moons The North Star lied Said follow me to freedom Bullshit Said have that of a mustard seed So I Vesseyed forth Tubmaned through Turnered over Bokeman continued Le Overtured myself right here Just an orphaned bastard Many rivers crossed... Long time walking Following North Stars and railroads underground Planting seeds that grew into trees with blood on the leaves Abolitioned myself here Away from Mothers Land Born again prematurely A stereotype Holding tight to visions of homecomings My destiny manifested on parchment Written with quill pens We hold these truths to be... Yada yada yada By design I am subhuman A burdened beast Bought and sold at auction... Blocks I walked Blocks Mandela me this? Why am I still walking © Michael W. Bonds WarGriot Poems
