Celebrate Justice

 

Before the presumed bells of justice were able to ring

“Oh, Lord, not my child” another mother would sing

The spirit of racism took to the sky

Yet another melanized baby would die

 

Don’t you dare, justice celebrate

Systematic genocide is yet your fate

Guilty, Guilty, Guilty, the jury proclaimed

Not before another privileged, took his aim

 

Celebrate justice, don’t you dare

Political gun powder fills the air

Documented case they are aware

Whatever the verdict, they don’t care

 

Shooting us down at their will

Asking the question, how many can we kill

Protected by the uniform and the silver shield

The reality of Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal”

My FLOW

 

Faith - My belief from within, blended with my hope, my destiny it bends

Love – of myself, the Divine and friends

Obedience – to the Spirit through heart and mind, manifesting greatness on the continuum of time

Working – from the past, the present and that to come, like an ocean I’m flowing, I’ve just begun

“Beast Mode”

Glancing at the chains above my head,

wrap them around my neck until I’m dead,

finding my lion, roar instead,

that’s the temptation that I fled

 

Keep moving forward,

tears pouring from my eyes,

I can’t comprehend the myriad of lies

I gave you may heart and you set it afire,

Lord help me move past this destructive desire,

forgiveness is the key I must acquire

 

I’m sorry God, I can’t do it anymore,

my mind has packed up and I’m at the door,

why am I prostate on this floor,

hearing you say, “That’s what I’m here for?”

Get up my son and march ahead,

she will need your strength, stand by her bed,

terminal sickness, hold her hand,

it’s okay to cry, you are a man

 

Show up every day, work through the pain,

weather the storm and the rain,

victory in the end you will gain,

I’m writing your story- it must be told,

I think I’ll call it, “Beast Mode”
