Abstract
Down By The Riverside was written with the intention of provoking revolution by utilizing an amassed knowledge of the history, culture, and spiritual origins of black people. This creation of an apocalyptic scenario, where we meet our adversaries on sacred grounds, prompts the conversation on our power as a people, and how we have always forged through consistent attacks on our bodies by tapping into our ancestral core, to prevail. This is poem about war and peace, about grace, mercy, and hellEre. Which all coexist within ourselves and beyond this plane.
