The souls of Black folks speaks ornate prose.
Scene of a firestorm: explosive. It shows.
But our eloquence builds cogency.
In the mind of American democracy,
We're the canary.
The souls of Black folks have
Such a special sensitivity to justice.
It goes way back to post- reconstruction.
A strict constitutional read; I call it genuine.
The only line in which I stand is the one of color:
Behind the lady of justice because blind is she.
