"They whispered to her,
'You Cant Withstand The Storm.'

She whispered back,
'I Am The Storm.'"
-Unknown


The spilling of brothers’ blood 

and fathers’ pride 

tint golden fields of our once honored land 


Lines had been drawn 

Sides have been made


Humble homes cut in two

by the Dixon line 


The fate of color 

left in the hands of white 


Our rivers run maroon  

Our homes raided and fields shallow graves 


We wait for the speech that will save our land 

Till such time the blood of brothers 

and pride of fathers   

will tint the once golden fields of our ravaged land
