A Mission Falsely Called 'Impossible'

We have stealthily achieved our Midas years,

We, trigger of a black revolution,

Clamber up the plains of a tumultuous pyramid

To find the base for a new resolution.

There were times, and those were tough times,

When we underestimated the impossible.

Standing in this place, we can say with courage, “we rise!”

For we’re still one nation on a mission falsely called ‘impossible.’
