Analysis of Unchained
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Whose dust has fallen
from the stars for this
What foolishness cites
Ignorance as bliss
Your grand history reveals itself
Despite being obscured
By those who deny you
just recompense
For those whose mantra
is a gist of nothingness
Ignoring your ancestors sacrifice and pain
Your inheritance to be washed down the drain
with alcohol and drugs
Becoming thugs
Selling people everything but love
Dissed because you are off the chain
Foolhardy drunken Vain
A blemish On your genetic strain
Reduced to a mere token of the stars
Of those the universe
has birthed For greatness
Whatever it is you’ve been smoking
Long past time to get off that sh*t
Get back to being
A force to be reckoned with
Freedom does not mean
Do as you please
with a gun attack
While blindfolded handcuffed
behind your back
Down on your luck
While down on your knees
Would you Please Wake up
Time to deliver
another course of sublime
To break the chains of time
To return back to futures Hope dreams
Accomplishment Families United
A nation of like minds
