Black History Poem: Obama/Obama Prime

In times past
There were giants
Walking the Black earth
Delaney, Douglass, Garvey, King and X

We know that now because we can see
Their tremendous silhouettes
Against the horizon of history

But the little people who followed them
Could not see them against dawn or dusk
They looked up @ them, with faith

In their righteousness, the justness
Of their causes. Minding not
The hot glare of midday white disapproval

They relaxed in the cool shade
Of righteous goliaths
Stretching from the dawn of history
To the dark dusk of hope
