Leslé Honoré

On our backs
With our blood
With our souls
With our hands
On our shoulders
With our strength
With our tears
With our ancestors
With their legacies
With our hopes
With our will
With our prayers
With our courage
With our scars
With our lives
With our might
With our genius
With our light
With our magic
In spite of your hate
The children of the enslaved
Have already made America great
