In-Courage
In Memory of John Lewis
--
a bright light
harkening back
the call
echo of
baton, broken bones
he lived through
got to see the
Promised Land
taste blood rivers
hope for
lasting freedom
this time
bent forearms
protect the skull
heads of
statues crack
fissures in liberty
will burst
believed this
generation
can be Legacy
can lead
with love
everyday
and ended
with a call
for peace
now in the
land of peace
he shines
Freedom Rider
preach and harmonize
guide us
steady us
in-courage us
the world wrestles without you
