The Freedom Man
A poem for Rev. Jesse Jackson
Not yielding
Not backing down
The freedom man
Strong willed
Stout hearted
The freedom man
With a keen mind
He's set to set things right
The freedom man
Why does he do what he does
Why does he says what he says
Because he's on a mission
To set things right
To make brothers
To make sisters
He's got to do what he got to do
He mustn't stop the good work
Freedom man must run on
Freedom man must keep on
If you see him help him
If you see him fight with him
Don't let that dream died with him
You carry the flame
You carry the torch
Until all become free

The short form of tomorrow is never the whole story. Abbreviations mean nothing when we are born to die and we all are aren't we? Being spoken for before birth is something we're not supposed to remember like some kind of karma after effect. Still here we are spending our lives looking for each other.
