Start player to listen to Unsung
Unsung was written at a time I felt I needed to refrain from using the N word. As a result, I turned it into something I hope others will read and do the same. Unsung is also a poem in my book Bulletproof Rose 2010 |
UnsungSOUND BROKE THE BARRIER OF MY ANCESTORS' SONGFOR IT TO DISAPPEAR AND NEVER BE SUNG OH, HOW IT STAINS THE TONGUE OF SOME HEADS SWUNG, BRANCHES FLUNG, DARKNESS COVERED THE SUN A STORM HAD BEGUN THE BLOOD, THE BATTLE, THE FEARS THE TRIUMPH, THE VICTORY, THE TEARS TO DIVIDE US FOR YEARS YOUR FOOTSTEPS HAVE SUNKEN IN THE FIELDS OF THE CREATORS FEAR GIVEN THIS NAME TO KEEP US IN REAR NO WORD FOR A FRIEND EVEN ADDING A VOWEL TO THE END TO PRETEND TIRED OF THE EXCUSES READY TO UNHOOK THE NOOSES BLOW THE FUSES CAUSE IT'S USELESS FURIOUS WHEN IT'S SPOKEN BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOUR OWN READY FOR WAR BATTLE DOME SPEAK TO EACH OTHER HIGHLY LIKE THOSE ON THRONES WRITING THIS NOT ONLY FOR YOU TO LISTEN BUT TO REMEMBER THE REASON FOR ITS EXISTENCE |
