Dr. Maya Angelou once penned

And it’s worth repeating it again:

“I am the Dream and the Hope of the Slave”

Reimagined and Rising from the slave ship’s bough

Formed and Visioned in the Here and Now

I am told that I’ve been waited for

Centuries of tears, a weighted Score

Kept by the Ancestors who came before

Invisible Brown Hands guide me through misty cloud

Instilling Memories of Rebellious Resilience Backbone Proud

I am the Gift of the Ones who wept and prayed

Fleshed Breath in Anthem Sweet: A Hallelujah Chorus of Better Days

Flag Waving

Path Paving

A History and a Culture worthy of saving

Stripes symbolic of Trails Blazing

Black Pride is truly Grace Amazing

Passing the Torch - An In and Out Phasing

Young Boy Young Girl - Inheritors of Consciousness Raising

Your Future so Bright

Skin Beautiful as Night

Ancient Eyes behold you: Star Gazing

Take that and that - Popper’s not afraid of any monsters. Not even Frankenstein,

Dracula or the Loch Ness

Popper stands for Truth, Justice, and Equality in this world, he stands for nothing less

Popper is from the Galaxy of Joy, he defends everyone’s right to have Peace and Happiness

His Bubble Machine may look like it is fun but with one hit from his bubbles, will make a bad guy confess

Popper’s bubbles will have you spilling the beans about anything wrong you want to do or express

All you meanies have to leave his Happy Planet - you will have to find yourself a new address

Take that and that and that and that. Popper is here to protect Good from the forces of evil - Watch it

Now ‘cause Popper don’t take no mess!
