Title
1973 Yearbook
Description
AMERICA
We're demanding of you — that which you yourself have not obtained,
For the unliberated can not set us free,
An umbilical cord to Mother England remains attached,
As her blood of custom and social norm flows fluently in your uncultural
veins
We're talking about freedom — in mind — in body — in spirit.
Yet the scenes explored from Bunker Hill and beyond.
Continue to perpetuate your myth of independence.
We're the object of your confounded, perplexed and arrogant stares.
So you believe that we too would create a myth — yet myth our arch enemy
— as a tool has bled us profusely
Only the truth will deserve our allegiance.
Will not seeds of truth and roots of reality give blossom to an America that
is born to live?
For this America, offspring of many nations, is destined to die — young.
But despair not, for the real revolution is upon us,
And its survivors will truly be free,
And class and color will no longer stigmatize,
And the poor will share affluence
And the affluent will share poverty,
And the birth of America will dawn with a new light —
Whose radiance-like the sun will warm the entire earth.
Mike Grant
