Quiet Poetry Lounge : These Ol' Bones............

[nevar]

These ol' bones has a story to tell
They tell ya of a life that wasnt so swell

My bones tell you as story of slavery
How I endured many nytes of battery

Been sold, bought, used, and abused
Been lied, cheated, defeated left confused

Ya'll dont understand what my life has been
To be left with out a mother, father or a friend

My scars run deep with in my old bones
Ya'll take for granted of your freedom and a place to call home

Dont know what's it like not to have nice things
All so focus upon your petty blings

Back in the day Church was all I had
And my people was united we didnt get mad
Still I'm sad

As I lie in my shallow grave with my battle scars
Squirming, tossing how God wont let you people get far

My children I never knew
My whole life was filled with the color of blue
I held true

That one day these Ol' bones will be free
And that history wont forget about me
For I fought back my fate was left hanging from a tree

Still I hope through my sacrifice all will remember thee
But all I can see

Is our people killing, striking, cheating, and full of deception
My brothas/sista's your leading into a place of destruction

For all the beatings, the hangings the suffering I feel was all in vain
You people dont know the true meaning of pain
Scared of a little rain
Some chose to be vain

To the fact that your ancestors all in lie in disqust
I tell them there's no need to make a fuss

Over the future of today
That why i say

Everyone will go on, and ponder what i say tomorrow
All must not forget the pain and sorrow

Be thankful for your strength, your will, your love, your life, your family and determination
Its time we unites as one become the intended nation

I feel tonight I had to come through
Take you people back to school

All you see is these Ol' bones
Remember you too have to come home

Can you truly say your bones will tell a story

These Ol' Bones...........
