Poem by Incarcerated Comrade Michael C. Parker

From Knees Bent I Stand

Somebody stand by me

Stand by me please

Watch my back

While i get off my knees

 

400+ years this I’ve tried to achieve

Rising above these common thieves

At the price of becoming a casuality

Just in trying to get myself free

 

Watch my back while I make this stand,

Let it not come by surprise

My demise or an unseen hand

 

Give me a hand

While I make this stand,

On my knees I’ll never fall again

 

Or, like all else you just don’t understand-

Genocide bent the knees from which I stand
