Janette Hoppe #31 Crisis and Chaos (1)

perhaps activism is in my DNA
the crisis and chaos
of racism

growing up on Dr Martin Luther King
knowing in my heart
there is no peace until freedom sings
and although Dr King is not from my people
we share the same plight
fighting the good fight
of no more black on white


and like Hampton - The Black Messiah
I believe that "I am a revolutionary"

a time for justice,
a time for peace,
there is no peace until freedom sings
and she will sing,
she will sing, she will sing.


*I am a revolutionary
there is no peace until freedom sings
(Fred Hampton,1948-1969:  Black Panther Party-Illinois)
