Being Wronged

if you conspire against
the power of the land, then,
you are branded a rebel,
perhaps a traitor,
and maybe a fool; but,
if you convince enough
of the people to support you
and risk their lives for you,
and you, by chance
or otherwise succeed, then,
you are branded a hero,
perhaps a leader,
or maybe a saint; but,
if you loose...
well...   my friends,
our democratic white society
will never think much of ou
or your family
or your distant kinfolk
until hundreds of years later,
after all has passed away
our rivers of memories,
and someone,
who has a good reputation
believes quite sincerely
you had been wronged...
will it be then righted.
