Metaphorty
I wrote this Metaphorty which is also a Metashorty, poem to recite on MLK Day:
Pour our libations
We have travelled four hundred five annuals
we are tired and parched
We have protested and cried
Seen our kind die
We have sweated and bled
Seeded and tread
Built walls and streets all over this land
Risen from ashes
Revived and Rebuilt
Voted, paid taxes
All while being strung toe tagged and called ratchet yet
We have demonstrated excellence in every way
In every arena
On every stage
We are beyond frustration
The next mode is rage
