North and South at war
The breakup of Slavery being the score
Movement having a maneuver
The plan being a strategy
Ammunition creating destruction
It was a cause having effect
The act of slavery needing an end
A time for Freedom to begin
The names of Andrew Jackson Abraham Lincoln
The thought of Freedom in blockage from one’s means
Yet Slavery being a cause to reject
A constitution of Freedom
Years of divine wisdom
Ashes being the years far too long being a slave
The separation became the hour of change
The North was going to rearrange
A Civil War having a battle
Darkness of war no more
Road to Freedom became a life of explore
A slave being no slave thereafter for one to ignore
The ashes are only what it took to change slavery
But it was all handled so bravely.
