RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: JUSTICE
The Death of Civil Rights
From the march across the Pettus bridge
To the martyrdom of the King
From the passage of Voting Rights
To the cry: Let Freedom Ring!
It is time to mourn her passing
The fading of the light
No longer everlasting
The death of civil rights
The line of progress broken
The dream is in retreat
The betrayal goes unspoken
The circle incomplete
America must hang her head
Embarrassment and shame
The end of our great promise
Delivered in our name
It is time to mourn her passing
The dying of the light
No longer everlasting
The death of civil rights
(Supreme Court ends Affirmative Action)
