Black History Month is where we salute our Afro-American Pioneers
Their sheer talent helps us every day to preserver
Their struggles in showing us how to overcome
They laid down the plan in how it is done
Their influence giving us endurance
Achieve knowledge in putting education first
Negativity speak out with an outburst
Presenting their pride and making it their stride
But throughout, it’s what the Lord did provide
Their eyes beyond the oceans
Their experiments being notions
A moment to reflect being their emotions
There were many great Afro-Americas
Yet hidden within the shadows, there were greats that have never been shown and known
They are your individual forefathers families who have guided you in your years, you, and only you can give them recognition known
Now my personal inspiration is my Grandfather, which I am making Full Blown
Achievement after achievement
Commitment after commitment
Determination after determination
Accomplishments in action having a focal point
Understanding with inspiring words as they spoke
Demeanor for us to preserver
Their knowledge is what they gave us in share
Our Afro-American pioneers broke race barriers
A locked door became an idea to open the door
It was a matter of understanding then explore
We became the thinker and as we grew, we became wise
It’s pure logic with not having a surprise
The sundown may have called their finale
Yet their legacy became our prospering alley
We stand with our fist up because of the dignity and pride from within
Thinking on the past from then
Yet ever achieving on can
But it’s total remembrance from when
Eye to eye, voice to voice, numerous spoken words with lots of inspiration in knowing how to be heard.
