*Your invention reveals your truths-James Baldwin*
 

There is no time 


We are always chasing the clock


Take me to a land where I am no longer a prisoner of war
And a seed of nonexistent time


We are continually stepping into a mechanical paradigm of a made up reality
A congregation of lies
Set me free


Let me see how powerful that I really am


This brown sugar skin means so much more than your made up spells that spew out of those poisonous lips 


Give us our land


You've shifted our ability to focus on your weakness, disguised as mighty power


All seeing
Ever knowing fraud
You know where you come from


A Kiss of death from  a serpents lips

There is no time 
Only wonders and works 

We exist in the air, You see us in the land & You smell us in the trees
 

The planet was dark, there were no anomalies
Only perfection and love 

Eye can see past this one dimensional world

To a universe where we are the original man
I understand it's textures 
My hair has never felt so good
My skin has never glowed like this

 

Our spirits have never left.
 

We've never left our music
We've never left our sound
We've never left out dance 
We've always praised the wind

 

We Saw bright stars and understood the moon
And We've spoke with the sun

 

He bathed our skin in melanin
Ebony, chocolate coco brown, redbone, caramel, honey colored Gods.

 

We never left our homeland
It has lived through us

 

We stomp our feet on its  ground
We are one with this land, we are mountains
We are the trees
We are the air
We are the water 
We are the wind

 

WE ARE ALL LANDS
 

Purified in God's image 
The spirit of our fathers has traveled through different soil and different generations

 

But we've always had soul
 

A bloodied island has been forbidden to speak of our true name
 

And her trees speak of demons from foreign lands


She has cried for the children of the lost

She has whispered individually their true names

She holds their bruised body's delicately in her hands

And tells them of a poisonous plague

Our land 

Flourished with milk and honey

With The sounds of the rains in tune with the rhythm of the drums

The morning dew had a different name

MUD WAS NOT OUR HOME 

We prospered in love and thrived in peace

My brother was a warrior and my sister was a Queen

My grandmother, was a proud high priestess

MY father was CHIEF.

We are still ONE

Our vibrations are in tune with this land's mother

Can you hear her beat?  She beckons to me at night

The tree's yield to her voice

It is soft, almost a faint whisper, she still has a pulse

Her words are clairvoyant

Home has always been here, we have never left

She speaks, My children dwell with me 

And remember  your birthrights 
 
Speak to the mountains, at one time in history the air whispered your indigenous name

The sun boasted in your Glory

Our mother's whipped, and tired fingertips, turned scraps  into SOULfood

 They painted a variety of entrées so good that for a brief moment we remembered that

We are magical

We are amazing, and resilient

Beautiful and brilliant

Copper colored Gold 

The world still admires us, because we ruled this planet
 HIStory if not corrected will repeat itself

Our land is here, our home has always been here. 

The spell has been broken

Return home, the indigenous one.

Thank you all so much, I know that this was a lengthy read so I appreciate you reading and giving feedback. This energy shift that has been rippling through our people is amazing. We all have gifts and a job. I'm hoping that this speaks to people, and encourages some to step out of the mold and journey back to our original selves. Thanks again.
