What if you knew?
I mean what if you knew that I would give my life to bring honor to my ancestors existence...
Honor to their deaths in a plastic society... molded to look like freedom.
What if you knew that every day that I awake I see the eventual release of my people from the hold of the worst form of slavery...
The kind that begins in the soul and destroys all hopes and dreams.
What if you knew that I dont write just for today tomorrow or next week...
That I have such a hard time with today cause I can see three hundred years away... A future homogenously created.
That the melanin in my skin won't let me see this shit go down without at least saying my part.
That I fear no man or womans hate cause its what I was born of in a segregated city.
The railroad tracks a line of seperation... a line of division...
As once I was a nigger, a negro, a colored boy, a black young man and a grown African Amerikkkan...
Whats my next designation???
Dry bones turning into dust and being recycled back into the life cycle.
What if you knew?
Would you even care in a Muslim way, A Christian way or would you pass me by like the Jews until a good Samaritan came and propped me up.
Asked if I was alright.
I mean what if you knew that self is found in a place where God has no religion... That his spirituality is omnipresent and omnipotent.
That a baby is born with no sin.
What if you knew?
