Plantation Behavior

CATEGORY

Views: 289

 

 Prepared to leave alone

 There can never be a throne

On a plantation

The mental is too strong

to agree with all that is going on

I can no longer sojourn another morn

On a plantation where people look pass mourns

and those that are looked downed upon as being the scorn

I am torn

teaching my few decades of life away

trying to ignite revolutionary sparks

through blasting headphones

to those that society view as pawns

What fun is it to be a chess master if I can't turn pawns into rooks, bishops, knights, Kings and Queens?

I had a dream, in the daytime while being awake

somehow always believing that I will see that day

that we'll all just walk away

And start over today

Now knowing that it is not realistic

our free will and our will to be free has been altered

and manipulated because of a system of slavery

Understanding that God works on God's time alone, and whatever will that God has Decreed will be done regardless of what has been done

I am merely playing my part and sticking close to the Truth

holding on tight, though the lies be let loose

Doused with meek kerosene

I struggle with the same Question every day

Do I stay or Do I leave?

I don't exhibit the typical behavior of a slave

I am intelligent, I am brave

I'll burn the damn plantation down today

but I don't want to hurt innocent people who just can't seem to get away

I am one of the few of many who have broken away

I have stolen my mind back because it belonged to me in the first place.

Yes, my Brother. We must continue to treat with poetic truth, those who have yet to steal back their minds from the racist American plantation syndrome. For those of us who aware that it is in freeing the mind that liberation begins, we still have much work to do while we are still blessed to be perpendicular to the ground. The work goes on; and so must we continue in it. This powerful pen does indeed remind us of that! Thanks Qadar Dwon', for another awaking share. Peace and Love, mlowe5.

This is so inspiring, I was at rest but how can I while there's work to be done.
