A Black History Month Poem
was a hard paved road
Of pain-corded muscle
and bone-tortured load
A nothing of dreams
tucked away in deep night
But dreamed nonetheless
lacing dark hope with light
From nothing to now
came with flesh sold and bought
Keeping spirit and soul
seeking freedom hard fought
Even nothing does rise
fed hope, certain and strong
Pressed by work-mangled hands
forced by spirit through song
And when nothing climbs up,
to its something so sweet
It has stories to tell
revelations replete
From nothing to freedom
From one orphan to now
From enslavement to science
From the sweat of each brow
From nothing to history
its sweet tale must be known
Laid with pain-corded muscle
paved with toil-twisted bone
