Time

It’s Juneteenth, again
Black children are fighting for our rights, again
Black churches are activated, again
Black women are on the watch, again
And Black men? Black men are on the front lines, again
The administration is erasing Black history, again
Taking away our educational opportunities again, striping Civil Rights, again
Making it hard to vote,
again
Allies are gonna have to choose again,
What color is American?
Which language is American?
Black people, we are helping to define America, again.
It’s freedom time again!
It’s Black Liberation time, again!
It's Black Preservation time, again!
Black Champion time
Black jubilee time
It’s Juneteen time, again!
And, my friend,
My brother,
My sister
My beautiful, beautiful
Black family,
It is our time.
