History

HIStory begins on the plains of Africa

In the cities of Mesopotamia

Oyo

The beginnings of civilization start here

Chapter 1

We were taken from our lands

Beaten within an inch of our lives

Our women degraded

Our men slaughtered

Chapter 2

Civil rights took center stage

Martin and Malcolm front and center

Lives taken, voices silenced

Jim Crow the law of the land

Chapter 3

Modern days and times

Unadulterated hatred and killing.

One man took a knee to bring attention

The rhetoric is deafening

Epilogue

Our lives are an enigma inside of a conundrum

We fear not only the police, but our own as well

From the days of the pharaohs

To Kaepernick and Black Lives Matter

This is our HIStory
