BURY ME FREE 

Dress me

In a suit of armor

Worthy of my grave

Comfort me

With the attention

Undeserving of a slave

Don't judge me

On my defiance or

For my relentless pursuit

Or despise me

For the hate that caused

Another Black man to loot.

Just give me

My due respect

You don't have to be afraid

And remember me

To be something more

Than another figure betrayed

All I ask is to be happy

In the last days

Of my quest

And shower me

With the blessings

Of your undying wholesomeness

Don't spite me insufferably,

On some street corner

In the hood

Just "Bury Me Free",

In hollowed ground

Beside the Brothers who understood.
