John Hope Franklin the prophecy to which you call us
Is the one I fear we fail to hear
And like this poet's muted voice anchored in a sense of history
Can only wonder here about the power of things
That rob the commonweal of so much good,
Our great private wealth may count for little with out your greater sphere
