Analysis of 6 decades ago
Jasmire Neptune 1988 (Florida)
It's astonishing how after all these years we still have to stand our ground.
*6 decades ago*
blacks are still suffering; suffering from the wicked that was, supposed to be long gone.
*6 deacades ago*
Pain in our eyes as we smile to strive, Pain in hearts to see our young ones fight to survive
*6 decades ago*
My hand are up, as tears roll down our face, I am not armed, please do not kill me.
*6 decades ago*
