Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGGHIJKLMNOPQJH FRSHTMJUVWXBSYFKZA2B 2C2D2 E2JF2CJCFG2G2H2OI2JH 2J2K2CL2L2M2It has been six hundred years | A |
When a dozen of us took the ship ride | B |
That would drive dozens of us | C |
Into generations of servitude | D |
All over the globe we were tamed | E |
Like the all powerful gorilla | F |
It has been just as long | G |
Since they realized that we are strong | G |
The most enduring race in the world | H |
Thus their idiosyncratic malediction to our type | I |
They have tried to drive us into extinction | J |
Vitiation has failed for generations | K |
In time we have proved our mettle | L |
We have stood the test of time | M |
We have outlived the longest holocaust | N |
We the race of sorrows in the human family | O |
The Japanese have been paid off for their pain | P |
The Jews have been rewarded God | Q |
With the promised land of Canaan | J |
With fat bank accounts from the whole world | H |
They the chosen tribe of Judah | F |
They still whine at the use of just words | R |
Yet we take it everyday | S |
Even from them that cry foul to the world | H |
The worst racists of all human kind | T |
Antisemitism has been coined a crime | M |
No word describes our daily bread and malediction | J |
We the black sheep of the flock | U |
We carried the world on our shoulders | V |
As it spat on our faces for centuries | W |
We have been whipped back slapped | X |
But we stood firm we rode the tide | B |
Here they described us in the most blatant way | S |
Only the heartiest of Africans could endure | Y |
The cruel middle passage to North America | F |
Once off loaded the surviving Africans | K |
Were paraded atop auction stages | Z |
For inspection of their physical traits | A2 |
Thus was born eugenics a movement to create | B2 |
Monster workers of us to till their land | C2 |
And lift their loads | D2 |
- | |
We survived Jim Crow and so did we the Boers | E2 |
The Ku Klux Klan could not lynch us to extinction | J |
The Carnegie Institute we will beat | F2 |
We will survive the AIDS war so imposed on us | C |
Just like castration and sterilization | J |
They failed to subdue us | C |
Only time will tell that we are the true tribe of Judah | F |
We will outlive any other race | G2 |
Just like we gave life to every race | G2 |
Heroes of our type have come and been silenced | H2 |
We have been robbed of the best we mourn daily | O |
The hardest of our flock silently softened | I2 |
By the unscrupulous devil machine | J |
Marcus Garvey Patrice Lumumba silenced | H2 |
Malcolm X a shining beacon bullet riddled to silence | J2 |
Steve Biko fearless to death | K2 |
Tupac Shakur honestly brilliant frankly rebellious | C |
Martin Luther King a prophet of sorts | L2 |
Our greatest voices turned out by quislings | L2 |
Where do we go now how do we get from here | M2 |
