<blockquote>
<p> In the Tumultuous Embrace<u></u> <u></u></p>
<p> <u></u> <u></u></p>
<pre> In the heart of Chicago, where dreams meet strife,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> A leader emerged, a voice for black life.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Fred Hampton, his name, a symbol of might,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> The Chairman of Panthers, the beacon of light.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> <u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Born '48, in Baton Rouge's land,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Where a seed of purpose took root and did stand.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> From humble beginnings, his spirit did rise,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> To challenge injustice with unyielding eyes.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> <u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> A charismatic orator, words flowed like a stream,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Inspiring the masses to rise from the dream.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Organizing the people, awakening the soul,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Fred Hampton's fire engulfed the whole.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> <u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> In the concrete jungles, where hope was unseen,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> He fought for equality, a vision so keen.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> He fed the hungry, uplifted the poor,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> For justice and freedom, he opened the door.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> <u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> With the Black Panther Party by his side,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Fred Hampton fought tirelessly, never to hide.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> He spoke of unity, across colors and creeds,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Championing justice, planting empowering seeds.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> <u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> But forces unseen felt threatened by his power,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> The establishment's fear grew with each passing hour.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> On a fateful December night, darkness befell,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> As tragedy struck, a story too cruel to tell.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> <u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> In the depths of slumber, innocence embraced,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> An act of betrayal shattered the sacred space.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> The life of a leader, cut short in its prime,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Silenced by bullets in the hands of a crime.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> <u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> But his spirit, unyielding, continued to soar,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Inspiring generations, forevermore.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Fred Hampton's legacy, in the annals of time,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> A reminder of courage, in the face of the crime.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> <u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> In the echoes of struggle, his voice shall remain,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> A call for justice, an eternal refrain.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> We honor his memory, as we march hand in hand,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> For the dreams he ignited, shall forever withstand.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> <u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Though stolen from us, in the prime of his might,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Fred Hampton's flame burns ever so bright.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> In the fight for freedom, we carry his name,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> In the pursuit of justice, we'll never be tamed.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> <u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> In the tumultuous embrace of history's plight,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> Fred Hampton's spirit shall forever take flight.<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> And as we march onward, in the quest to be free,<u></u> <u></u></pre>
<pre> We'll remember his vision, for unity we decree.<u></u> <u></u></pre>

BY FRANCES ELLEN WATKINS HARPER<br />
<br />
<br />
At the Portals of the Future,<br />
Full of madness, guilt and gloom,<br />
Stood the hateful form of Slavery,<br />
Crying, Give, Oh! give me room–<br />
<br />
<br />
Room to smite the earth with cursing,<br />
Room to scatter, rend and slay,<br />
From the trembling mother’s bosom<br />
Room to tear her child away;<br />
<br />
<br />
Room to trample on the manhood<br />
Of the country far and wide;<br />
Room to spread o’er every Eden<br />
Slavery’s scorching lava-tide.<br />
<br />
<br />
Pale and trembling stood the Future,<br />
Quailing ‘neath his frown of hate,<br />
As he grasped with bloody clutches<br />
The great keys of Doom and Fate.<br />
<br />
<br />
In his hand he held a banner<br />
All festooned with blood and tears:<br />
‘Twas a fearful ensign, woven<br />
With the grief and wrong of years.<br />
<br />
<br />
On his brow he wore a helmet<br />
Decked with strange and cruel art;<br />
Every jewel was a life-drop<br />
Wrung from some poor broken heart.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Though her cheek was pale and anxious,<br />
Yet, with look and brow sublime,<br />
By the pale and trembling Future<br />
Stood the Crisis of our time.<br />
<br />
<br />
And from many a throbbing bosom<br />
Came the words in fear and gloom,<br />
Tell us, Oh! thou coming Crisis,<br />
What shall be our country’s doom?<br />
<br />
<br />
Shall the wings of dark destruction<br />
Brood and hover o’er our land,<br />
Till we trace the steps of ruin<br />
By their blight, from strand to strand?<br />
