Galveston To Austin

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

Selma to Mongomery March set the stage for the Voting Right Bill of 1965,

Can a Galveston Juneteenth Galveston to Austin March today, set the Voting Rights in Texas, where all residing Texans be voters.

But how can one poet start a March of Americans, to say, we support the Voting Rights Bill of 1965.

Guess it is kind of crazy that in America Today, there would be people that support our History, without Republicans rewriting it, on white pages, without black figures.

Galveston To Austin

See shore of Galveston Juneteenth 1865
American Voting Rights Bill, August 6, 1965
Lincoln Republicans faith emancipated slavery - 1861
Trump Republicans now seek to rewrite History
Where Juneteenth disappears in white pages
Selma to Montgomery March, May 7 to 21, 1965
Tulsa massacre never happened in June, 1921
MLK was not slain in Memphis April 24, 1968
History redacting Black figures, like J Edgar Hoover.

You see, Obama was skipped over, as anonymous
John Lewis Civil Rights icons being white washed
Master Race worldwide promotion, minus Holocaust
Republican Right to WOKE History in dire dissemination
Remember when, only white male land owners voted
Women tokenized, before Women suffrage, men jock
Straps society, WE Crass followers, follow masculine balls.

Heard rumor that in Washington, Texas Legislature fugitives
With Beto were organizing Galveston Juneteenth March to Austin
But this is Poetic Pulp Fiction, perpetuated here, before thy eye to eye
Can you, ear to ear, hear peaceful march of Patriot footsteps in Texas
Where their soles, like their souls, bleed red proud, in American pride.
Ask, how can one man change History, look at MLK, then at Trump
One advanced History, while the other WOKE Selma backward
Would Bishops, Rabbis, Preachers, Catholic, Jew, Protestants, Muslims
Red, White, Black, Yellow, Trump Orange, every shade of Humanity - commit.
Say that Homeless, vagabonds, transients, can vote for Our President
Other positions may need state, county, city residency requirement
If states cannot legislate the Presidency, WE The People have won a victory
State by state, they take back, what American fought for, in Selma elsewhere.
Texas Autocrat rewriting History Books, Literature, America’s HeArtMosphere.

What if, what if Country Outlaws could set the Stage for Voting Rights in ~
America's Future.

HeArtMosphere Poet

So well said about the hypocrisy of turning back the clock and writing history as though it were a whitewashed fairytale just the way that ignorant, backward oligarchs want it to be. The rest of us have the power of nonviolent protest.

A march from Galveston to Austin would be a great reminder of those Republicans in the statehouse that what they are proposing to pass is not of the people, for the people or by the people. It is a sham and a shame and needs to be set on the right course immediately. We cannot afford to wait another two years to do the right thing.
