Panther Power Rize Up

ITS A CLASSIC.... TY TINAS

I agree Mona Racism is still very much alive.......This is soooo sad but Its the Truth!

La Pana

Youtube has her singing this live...even more chilling...
God Bless.

This song(Poem) really speaks for itself. yes it is sad , yes the pain is still there . it tells the story that's for sure , that so many of our people had to deal with.RACISM is still very mush alive wake up!

Oh my...this is my first time ever hearing this song and it just makes me wanna cry. It's like you can see everything she's singin about. This has got to be one of the most powerful songs I've heard...

A very powerful song, I remember my history teacher playing this for us when we were studying the civil rights movement.

this song is so sad to me! i cannot get the imagery out of my head and the pain out of my heart. God help us all.

Lynching.
A Horrific Thing....

Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
Blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
for the rain to gather
for the wind to suck
for the sun to rot
for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
