Although things have changed allot in the south compared to
days of daily whippings, beatings, treating black people as
animals w/ out souls and, basically, no human rights -- unlike
the whites -- Yeah, things have changed since the control of
fascist, racists dictating the way a black man, woman or child
should live - be separated, segregated - lynched by a mob of
white folks.
Allot of dirty blood still stained the streets and plantations
and back woods of the deep, coastal south - which ports
brought in stolen bodies - and which plantations harvested
slaves. Blood stained streets and grounds from whippings and
beatings - rapes and murders.
Maybe by the grace of mother nature - this dirty blood will be
no more - And the heart of the south will have a cleansed
blood running through its veins like the rivers of Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Alabama - cleansing the streets and grounds
and hearts of southern communities -
So a new, better, emerging communities can flourish w/
fairness all over the south - w/ no prejudices or hatred for
one another of black and white races -

Stolen bodies of day
thrusted into a ship of fear
smelling premonitions of death
filtering through the salt sea air
