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
