Om Nia Merican

O say can you
20,000 Negro leagues beneath the
sea foamed clouds laced with ink that stains when
rains makes books of trees at once upon a
dawns early light pawn bishop knight children of
night may queens take kings hereafter thereafter
the triching sands demand that our decisions
be timely I'm the Omni American born of beats and blood
the concert of the sun unplugged
I'm the offspring of spring reborn pledged and sworn
the risen ash of a flag burned and torn
I'm the blood of the womb the risen tide of the moon
the dark side that the light cannot hide
I'm the pages of history read between the lines
the living truth between your symbols and signs
I'm the son of a minister
Love of a teacher
My mother taught me well so I rebel
I'm the bell re-tolled yet a story untold
The hidden force behind a rock that was rolled.
I'm the omni American born of beats and blood
the concert of the sun unplugged
