Here in the darkness

Of the ebon night

I lay erect in ecstasy

And the fullness

Her solitude

Had nothing

To do

With her

femininity

Nor hued skin…

It has been said

Life is like a camera.

A camera

With its film and negatives

They say age is nothing

Sharing awareness,

I am just an old griot

Rapping my own way:-

Slicing through the snow

Gliding over black oppression—

Soaring to freedom:-

God’s beauty born unto me.

Giving God ...

You’re not the future…

You’re the now…leading us on—

Footprinting the way:-

Boldly I stand here---

Emancipation canvassed;

Grounded in freedom:-

Oppression waning...

Black Power Movement waxing---

Skies of justice glow:-

Building liberty...

Pillaring voting power...

Raising up justice...

Voting overflows…

Black Power’s pot heating up…

Oppression melting…

Black lives still matter…

Oppression slowly dying…

Liberty breathing…

Searching the word book—

No, not the dictionary;

Seeking God’s wisdom:-

Gun violence rising…

Mental illness is waxing;

Concerns are waning:-
