From the tables of joy
Sometimes a bone

To some people love is given
To others
Only heaven.

Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.

or records — Bessie, bop, or Bach.
I guess being colored doesn't make me not like
the same things other folks like who are other races.

These words are gently spoken:

Love — and chains are broken.
