Tall, Black, AND Handsome

Peace erupted into civil strife
Unchained but undoubtedly fearing their life
Buses ran empty and people in White
Met in the darkness to lynch in the night
Polls became literate to an illiterate mass
Black young men conned by white lass
No place for their going
No place for their stay
No place to call home for many a day
Yet slowly but surely true peace arrived
To catch up with the former to bring in true life
Of freedom thought dear they held it for ransom
Now standing in presidency, tall, black, AND handsome
