My John Jay's door

My John Jay's door, very soon,
Will be widely opened;
And where all those, who look like me,
Will switch their soft jail's beds
For the very hard benches of freedom;
For us James Madison had cheated his nights
For making those blessing inks and papers;
Please great listeners,
Forgive me for the way I see it,
The seed of Education is not planted for us;
That's the writing they are cheating.

All blood of my blood,
Who are now being viciously enchained,
The penitentiary's doors
Will be forever closed behind your backs

O my Great God!
You who crafted me with the pieces
Of the sky and the dust of the earth;
You who taught me how to drink my red wines,
I summon you
In your all beauty and your all almighty
To clear my way and preserve my footprints
As a guide for all of my loved ones to follow
So that they will not confuse
The glamorous John Jay's doors
To those of their penitentiary,
Like you've been so excited to preserve
Your own footprints for me
And many of my predecessors

You White kinds
That love me so much
And that same exceptional love
You also share it with many others like me
That are still breathing
Et tous ceux qui ont deja mange
Des pissenlis par leurs racines;
You White kinds, who are living
With my physiognomy and my philosophy
Largely engraved in your memories,
I feel your heartbeat for my severe pains I've been enjoyed,
But my John Jay's doors, very soon,
Will be widely opened;
And where all those, who look like me,
Will switch their smooth jail times
For its long and ever lasting period of freedom.
