Black Congress

Black Congress

I've been searching for black congress
A place to discard my people's sleep so we merely rest
on the look out for unremote controlled senators
uncut and uncensored DuBois like orators
urban lawyers of diligent and loyal
black women bearing the mental and physical beauty of Ahanti's royal
I seek African tribe administration
authentic Malcolm X illustrations
while constructing the next great organization to craft solution

Today's mothers are fathers for Father's Day
Many grandmothers and great-grandmothers are mothers for Mother's Day
Too many sisters careless of their sistah lost
A brotha conscious being a brotha bears no cost
Slavery created an economic empire
Labor Day should be Africa's year
Judicial tricks for unwanted givings
Murder, rape, infiltration and beatings
Jesus was a black man
If the world acknowledged
blacks would Christmas feast
I've been search
And my searching led to demolition
Then to skilled rebuilding for revolution

Black is beautiful
Precious black treasure
Black congress has painted the White House black
