March / by Ronald Jackson

Have you ever taken a stroll down memory lane?
Have you ever seen factors in that path where the math didn’t add up correctly?
You may have thought “eh, guess that wasn’t my cup of tea”
But that’s strategically what you’ve been conditioned to see
And lately the way Kermit the Frog has been sipping
If you ask me, there is a lot of tea
There is a lot of missed opportuniT(EA)y
Every evolving opportunity that we didn’t always have
Like the opportunity to laugh
The opportunity exist
The opportunity to walk
And it is in that walking motion that we can create a commotion
Ruffle the feathers of chickens stuck in their way
Enough is enough and it’s time to quicken the pace of the music in play
Because ladies your paychecks don’t look the same
And that’s off beat
Because fellas no matter how hard you work you still catch the blame
And that’s inharmonious
Because of pigmentation like black/brown/beige/tan some aren’t considered as “tame”
And that’s out of tune
Because these shouldn’t affect the law of cause and effect
But since they do then let them affect your cause
Because you can march for a cause that inside you lit a fire
Come off pause and let the mentality that good enough is good enough expire
Or you can march just because you’re sick and tired
Personally I am restless so the latter is my best fit
I will march into the face of the construct of my censorship
Whether it is with a hood up or a hand up
The X factor is I will man up and instruct my words to stand tall
Tell them to march through my lips
And with strength that only God himself could understand
Those words will force a command upon the opposition
To position itself to the side
And to also march
But in the opposite direction
Because the entity of that system is in the way of progress
So the entity of that system must face its correction
