Dear Minister Farakhan:

I greet you sir

As-Salaam Alaikum

Sir

I am 

admitting to you

that from being

Saturated

in European commercialism

That I

The poet

Known as

Alekia Abeni

Once dreamt of going to

London

because 

I

wanted to be a 

Spice Girl

I digged the scene

And when

I thought of 

Africa

I

thought of 

hungry Children

with flies on their eyes

or

Elizabeth Taylor

That's the truth

my secret 

Truth

See I

come from a place

where

I

feel just like

The twisted thought of

Believing

that what was

aforementioned was

true

See

I admire you

Because 

You

speak the

Truth

about 

Who I am

and 

Whose I am

My true rank

before I bore this 

Tat on my

Arm

Shoulder blade and

Thigh

Marked upon my flesh

to show my

Loyalty

"Woe is me"

I thought that a couple times about my 

Destiny

that this

European culture

has produced for

Me

feeding off of lies

Bearing all of my

Adornments

Now, the man

I

allowed to fondle me

is

blasting me in the public

I chose this life

Life

Life is but a dream

But

What happens to a dream deferred?

Because it seems

I am only left with

ashes

ashes

We all fall down

So I choose to bow

Not at the feet of man

For I overstand

that we are amongst 

Men

But

some Men

Men of Faith

Faith

that someone 

like me

is apart of a beautiful race

I listen

trying to fathom this

POWER

The clocks ticking

I try to make up the hours

Could it be true

That this is truly

Ours

That everything that is written is

Truly

Ours?

I believe it

and

I want to 

press forth

No lip service

But sir

I'm scared

So I wander

Just another

Hungry Soul

Looking at a picnic table

Invited to eat

But 

Only looking

but

not partaking at the Feast
