the Caged Bird Sings and the
revolutionary inquires by the words of
both Paul Laurence Dunbar and dr. Martin
Luther King jr. I am inspired to be a
revolutionary a writer the power of
words is too often hated on duration and
liberation of our people often hated dr.
King stated it is no longer a choice
between violence and non-violence in
this world it is non-violence or
non-existence that is where we are today
just rewind a few years to overuse
nuisance and bloody footprints the same
blood and some of our veins was once
spilled over shackle chains we overcame
and became revolutionaries writers the
shared dream of freedom is a desire
passed down like words of wisdom
we have persevered against the system in
every way from direct action to
symbolism always left with the question
of what more can we do so many have worn
the mask and I’ll be damned if I have to
Paul Laurence Dunbar wrote of a man with
a dream that will later shape the
narrative of dr. Martin Luther King yes
the Caged Bird Sings
but songs of dedication to liberation
melodies of frustration and patience we
are tired of waiting contemplating over
what is so wrong with Liberty all the
school system teaches barely is dr. King
had a dream that has yet to be reached
may he rest in peace but let us never
forget that he was equally as
revolutionary as an Angela Davis or
Ralph Abernathy most likely inspired by
poetic writings a pain still thrives in
the old old scars and they posts again
with the keener sting I know why he
beats his wing Paul Laurence Dunbar
writes of the unseen his words act as
gasoline sparking a fire that could
never ever die out we march but we write
down we protest and we vow to stay
inspired by the legacies of two men with
two dreams wanting the same thing a
crust of bread and a corner to sleeping
a minute to smile and an hour to weep in
a pints of joy to a peck of
trouble and never a laugh but the moans
come double and that is life but it
shouldn’t be thank you [Applause]
