got to start timing
my time
because when it
comes to mine
don’t have much
left here to stay
so let me get on
with what
i have to say
and don’t know
if i can keep
this rhythmic flow
as i continue to go
but assure you an
awareness beat
so before you
fall asleep
let me move
on my friend
and you’ll soon see
the situation we’re in
and maybe comprehend
before we reach the end
that you may know
where we need to go,
and how much we
need to sow
the fertile hued seeds
we really needed to grow…
there’s this oppressor
syndrome
that has infested our village
home
causing so much painful
hurt
bleeding blood into the hood’s
dirt
we need to get
our reality together
knowing
we are not here
to murder one another:
father
mother,
sister
brother
nor any of the other…
i’m not talking
to the syndrome
dead
but to those
still here with brains
ticking in your
head…
let’s return
our weary eyes
to the ever
fought for prize…
not halting
here at
the mountaintop
but sojourning
without another stop
through
the valley
of the shadows
of death
stepping the footprints
the ancestors left…
let us reconcile
one another
in amazing grace,
as we move on to
liberating our
weary oppressed
race
if we’re going to
arrive where
we ought
to be,
it’s gone
have to be
because of you,
me, and
our priority…
in sanitizing
this conundrum
and its filthy debris:
in these words
i’m laying
hoping you’re
grasping what
i’m saying
‘bout you
me
and our
immediate
priority:-
you, me, & priority…
