Leap of Faith

Here I stand in misery,

But never accepting defeat,

Wise words told me that now I see clearly,

With my third eye awoken to meet

Jealousy, Rage, Combat, and Greed,

But without my Blackness,

I would have never been great…

This is for the afros,

The tight braids,

the raised fists,

& glee,

Because now that Amerikkka has spoken,

it is time to set us free…

Off into the World -

Go out,

Prove everyone wrong,

Because what a black man,

and a black woman is,

is far too strong.
