Equality & True Freedom

As I write these words my eyes are stinging.

As I fight to hold back the tears of frustration and betrayal.

That have always existed within the walls of my heart though I have always tried to deny it.

My mind, body and soul are now completely focused on one thought.

And that is that African Americans can no longer wait

for the slow evolution of freedom from our slave mentality.

We can no longer wait for the rise of a mythic leader

who will remove the chains that enslave our minds.

We can no longer wait to be given what everyone else is born with…equality and true freedom.
