Freedom Flows
From the tip of my tongue
to the soles on the feet of those
that walked hard the miles in the sun
From my father's fathers' great grandfather
and all their young
that were denied the collective breathes that I've become..
so bold through the print in my name
that I invoke their pain and exhale our tiers on this page
in cold blood
Absolute as 1 love
on an island of slaves enraged
with the heart of a king yet sing...
redemption songs and
I Am..
So Blessed...
So Strong..
So Black...
So Proud..
that I can look "the enemy" in eye and say "So What!"
the content of my character will never lie
I can not be defied or denied or defiled..
I Stand with Tigers & Pumas in the wild all the while
haters remain patient imbeciles in way of state
they pray and wait..
I smell them from a mile as prey in weight..
Then slay them in the truth and weigh their fate
as the word separates in tools I move on
future generations to build the proof on
my children's childrens' children..
I hear their echo in the perspective mirrored
reflections and I hope I can protect them..
So I teach the nearest one in my next of kin
"all blessings come from within"
Love Yourself as I Am.
