Ignorance speaks,

Mocks itself,

Bastardizes it's own DNA,

Bullies and scoffs it's way to town

With a hollow, indigent puff of smoke 

From a cheap cigarette purchased

With stolen lunch money.

But history is a diamond with many facets,

And those who see with open eyes

And hearts

Hold one hand out in loving silence, with the authority 

To say, 'Stop,

You're only ridiculing yourselves,

And disrespecting the truth,

And only by embracing dignity

For yourselves and all your fellow people

Will understanding be achieved,

And honest soul reparations can then begin."
