Black August<\/p><\/div>\n

Comrade Jonathan Jackson
\nOur communist Black son
\nYour name be still ringing
\nYour praises we still singing
\nTook courage in hand
\nAnd ran wild
\nAcross the history
\nPage
\nTook on the capitalist system
\nDared to resist them
\nWith righteous rage
\nAnd the vision
\nOf a guerrilla tactician
\nA weapon forged
\nBy his brother George
\nHad a revolutionary plan
\nAnd assault rifle in hand
\nOn that fateful day
\nTook judge jury and D.A.
\nAll the way
\nWith demands to free
\nThree Black men
\nOn a staged trial
\nThis Black man child
\n17 years old
\nDefying what we been told
\nAbout futile resistance
\nPersistence
\nIn the tradition of
\nThe rebel slave
\nDemanding freedom
\nFor his people
\nOr the grave
\nHe put it all on the line
\nIt was terrible but fine
\nGave his life in a hail of bullets
\nTo counter the bullshit
\nOf plenty people talking
\nBut few people walking
\nThat “by any means necessary”
\nRoad to freedom
\nBut know
\nWe gone meet him
\nIn the world wind
\nWhere the ancestors been
\nShining down
\nOn us since way back when
\nSo we never forget
\nKnow we never regret
\nThe example he set
\nHis name still be ringing
\nHis praises we still be singing
\nOur communist Black son
