For Dick Gregory

I would like to hear you speak the truth 

In person....is that ok? I would like to hear 

You talk about black people, and injustice 

While you put your jokes a side....you're funny and 

Also serious....when it comes to America, you share conspiracies....

You tell stories of what really happened....We can't be fooled....

Now you're gone, you went upstairs into god's hands....

Watchin the world twist and turn, shakin your head...

When will we learn? When will we stop being afraid 

And come together as an unity? We're been programmed 

For so long....and you, Mr. Gregory, tryin to wake us up....

We're still at war...some of us are still asleep....

I wanna say thank you....thank you for the truth, thank you for the 

Fightin with us and we will continue to fight....

Please Rest In Peace, in Power....

I don't know where you are in god's hands 

But somewhere you're lookin down at us...

And we will miss you...we will remember you 

One of the greats....✊🏿
