why…and yet i know…

 

save those who know

the same womb

few sing my praise…

 

many wish me low

to fill the waiting tomb—

outing me as if a fueled blaze …

 

how long will i be their prey…

how long will i be slain at will…

why must i fear each and every day…

why must i fear being today’s prized kill…

 

is it something

that unfortunately i lack…

or just because

i’m young gifted and black…

 

of this tell-tale theme

the world and i know

‘cause i remain on the scene

you’re being driven insane

finding  i’m of amaranthine fame…

 

you may kill the dreamer

but the dream will not go away

it’s impossible to exterminate her

new black lives are born each and every day…

 

one thing i know and this i mean—

you can kill the dreamer but not the dream.

Yes Sir! Sister Nina was always so on point. Powerful! Yet so many at that time did not see nor hear the messages. It is always good to hear from you, my Brother. Peace and Love, mlowe5

I appreciate how this was constructed. Refreshing to see one's soul bared and vulnerable, translated poetically and precise.
