I was inspired by President Obama doing his thing at the White House on National Reading Day in combination with it being Dr. Seuss Day, as k2b shared with us in her OP earlier today
I was also inspired by what offers we saw to the talent on display last night
I will plead help with this and no time to rewrite
but in comments we'll celebrate into the night
HEEEYY
I’ve been
dragging along and I’ve felt somewhat pressed
By this
world that keeps trying its very white best
To mark
out the history we know to be true
and to
silence the brilliance of me and of you
But the
culture keeps rising and rising, you see
In the
face of those who tried to hang it from trees
And when
haters keep trying to stifle the light
The truth –
she will roar back to settle things right
Like SAG
awards last night – oh, what a grand sight
The room
it exploded with joy and with might
Miss Viola
cheered, her voice instrument high
As her
call of Michael B Jordan’s name soared to the sky
He rose
from his seat for his Best Actor prize
He hugged
on his Mom and he wiped those deep eyes
Mr. Delroy
reached out with embrace for him, vast,
Like a
bridge to the present from those in the past
Then
Samuel L Jackson, coolest of men
Gave a bow
that was worthy of nine or of ten
As he
offered the legend the Ensemble trophy
The love
had golden roots and was err’thing but “showy”
He offered
the mic over his brother’s way
So legend
Delroy could offer the very first say
Because
Sinners had conquered; the win was so sweet
It brought
every last person right up on their feet
And our
Ryan Coogler, the best in the land
Has a
second big trophy to hold in his hand
TWO BEST
ENSEMBLE WINS – no one’s done that before
With Black
Panther and Sinners, for us he breaks open doors
We march
on, we march on with our heads still held high
With that steel
in the soul and the spark in the eye
And we
know we have found spirit victory bouyyyy
And we
will not let White nonsense pilfer our joy
Your girl is rustyyyyyy - but I offer this with love
