Why...And Yet I know...

CATEGORY

Views: 305

 

Save those who know

the same womb,

few sing my praise.

Many wish me low—

to fill the waiting tomb:

outing me as, if a fueled blaze.

 

How long will i be their prey…

how long will i be slain at will…

why must I fear each day…

why must I fear being today’s prized kill?

 

Is it something

that unfortunately i lack

or just because

I’m young gifted and black?

 

Of this tell-tale theme

the world and I know

‘cause I remain on the scene

you’re being driven insane

finding I’m of amaranthine fame.

 

You may kill the dreamer

but the dream will not go away.

It’s impossible to exterminate her;

new black lives are born each day.

 

Yes, you may wield you blazing gun;

and my read blood of courage may yet run; 

but one thing I know, and it’s not an extreme;

you can kill the dreamer—but not the dream.
