Example 1 by Jacquii Cooke:

excerpt from Ode To Lady Liberty

To know the sweet of emancipation
Such a bliss, Angel kissed
To think "deserves we that liberation"
Old man sings, 'Pon eagle's wing
To see those chains loosed in adulation
Lady sees, Cannot we?
Chant Freedom Chant: "Chant Freedom Chant"

Example 2 by Jacquii Cooke:

Gameday

wind blows ball
through the net of Vols
"we 'gon win, it's in our blood"
champs are we to thrive while kicked real good
on the ground; glasses did break
but our spirit takes
no defeat
