Though I Am Long Dead
I shall not cry
or be ashamed
of my past
of my failures
of my hurt
nor of my
pain.
Freedom
Freedom is the most beautiful thing
I took for granted,
She was once in my life but then she vanished.
I ended in a cell cold and lonely,
I felt stranded,
feeling like what happened?
Silenced
When I am silenced I feel dead.
To me, the silenced becomes a bad habit.
When you see me, you witness bravery.
When you hear me, you witness power.
To hear me is to have an understanding of oneself.
To see me is to see the power of understanding right in front of you.
Liberate or Revolt
Intuitive soul, this kind of gift is heaven sent,
Blessed by the Creator of all that exist.
This gift is heaven sent!
This intuitive soul
used to recognize their evil plots and plans by distant miles.
Ancestors
You’ve sweat, bled, and worked diligently
To provide and survive.
You’ve fought endlessly for equal rights,
love, respect and what defines moral standards.
You sung songs, wrote words of wisdom,
poetry, gave stories and taught us well.
