Inaugural Poem

Maya Angelou
20 January 1993=20

A Rock, A River, A Tree
Hosts to species long since=20 departed,
Marked the mastodon.
The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
Of their sojourn = here
On=20 our planet floor,
Any broad alarm of their hastening = doom
Is=20 lost in the gloom of dust and ages.
But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, = forcefully,
Come,=20 you may stand upon my
Back and face your distant = destiny,
But=20 seek no haven in my shadow.
I will give you no more hiding place down here.
You, created only a little lower than
The angels, have = crouched=20 too long in
The bruising darkness,
Have lain too = long
Face=20 down in ignorance.
Your mouths spilling words
Armed for slaughter.
The Rock cries out today, you may stand on me,
But do = not hide=20 your face.
Across the wall of the world,
A River sings a beautiful=20 song,
Come rest here by my side.
Each of you a bordered country,
Delicate and strangely = made=20 proud,
Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
Your armed struggles for profit
Have left collars of = waste=20 upon
My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
If you will study = war no=20 more. Come,
Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
The Creator gave = to me=20 when I and the
Tree and the stone were one.
Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
Brow and = when you=20 yet knew you still
Knew nothing.
The River sings and sings on.
There is a true yearning to respond to
The singing River = and the=20 wise Rock.
So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew
The African and = Native=20 American, the Sioux,
The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, = the=20 Greek
The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
The = Gay, the=20 Straight, the Preacher,
The privileged, the homeless, the=20 Teacher.
They hear. They all hear
The speaking of the = Tree.
Today, the first and last of every Tree
Speaks to = humankind.=20 Come to me, here beside the River.
Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River.
Each of you, descendant of some passed
On traveller, has = been=20 paid for.
You, who gave me my first name, you
Pawnee, Apache and = Seneca,=20 you
Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
Forced on = bloody=20 feet, left me to the employment of
Other seekers--desperate = for=20 gain,
Starving for gold.
You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot ...
You = the=20 Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
Sold, stolen, arriving = on a=20 nightmare
Praying for a dream.
Here, root yourselves beside me.
I am the Tree planted by the River,
Which will not be = moved.
I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
I am yours--your = Passages=20 have been paid.
Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
For this = bright=20 morning dawning for you.
History, despite its wrenching pain,
Cannot be unlived, = and if=20 faced
With courage, need not be lived again.
Lift up your eyes upon
The day breaking for you.
Give birth again
To the dream.
Women, children, men,
Take it into the palms of your = hands.
Mold it into the shape of your most
Private need. Sculpt = it=20 into
The image of your most public self.
Lift up your=20 hearts
Each new hour holds new chances
For new = beginnings.
Do not be wedded forever
To fear, yoked eternally
To=20 brutishness.
The horizon leans forward,
Offering you space to place = new steps=20 of change.
Here, on the pulse of this fine day
You may = have the=20 courage
To look up and out upon me, the
Rock, the River, = the=20 Tree, your country.
No less to Midas than the mendicant.
No less to you now than the mastodon then.
Here on the pulse of this new day
You may have the grace = to look=20 up and out
And into your sister's eyes, into
Your = brother's=20 face, your country
And say simply
Very simply
With=20 hope
Good morning.=20
