(SAVAGE CONUNDRUM)
THE MUSIC... MAKE SURE YOU LISTEN.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmjG7lOsY8g&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I mean what would I be without you?
You ripped from an ancient mans rib on a starlit night.
Fashioned from the same framework as he but oh so different.
Lions and hyenas in the back ground as you black and beautiful emerged formed of carbon and water.
Soft as wet...
What would I be if you had not borne Moses, Shaka, and Hannibal?
If you had not let me take your hand and shown you the celestial heavens spinning in slow motion above our nappy heads.
If you had not been in the hold of those slaveships.
We born of Kemit, Kush, and Sheba now known as Ethiopia.
Where would I be if you had given up in segregation.
Dogs barking while white police bashed black skulls and crosses burnt on southern lawns.
Our childs body swinging in the flickering light and hanging lifeless from our favorite pecan tree.
Where would i?
No what would I?
No… Could I be?
Thats why I will never forsake the words spoken to an ancient man by seraphim.
She is bequeathed unto thee...
She your other half.
Two parts of a whole.
I open my eyes and I see...
Thee... the black woman as queen supreme.
