Remember
Remember when
That Teddy Roosevelt said
“The forward race is destined to raise the backwards race”
What did you learn to change?
Do you know your experience?
How did you get to this place in time?
Remember when
Martin Luther King said
“The Negro is still not free . . .
Crippled by the manacles of segregation
and the chains of discrimination.”
What did you learn to change?
Do you understand your past?
How educated are you willing to become?
Remember when
Malcom X said
“Wrong is wrong,
no matter who does it
or who says it.”
What did you learn to change?
Where is your faith?
Do you believe in right and wrong?
Remember when
All people can talk about
Are what they remember.
Do you understand the
Significance of that remembrance?
Have you learned what you need to move forward?
Are you ready and willing to take up the mantle?
Remember when
We cannot live in remembrance
We must learn from the past
To move forward
You are still learning to change?
