Who Are You?

Unsettling thoughts
Tearing me apart
Unified with a broken heart
Seeking affection
From those with no connection
To my heart or soul
My mind is paroled
Free, but not free
I wish I can escape effectively
With no one judging me
'Cause I want to be free from this mental slavery
That is possessing me
I'm focused, I'm hungry, I'm thirsty
For a bread that fills me like no other
Slowly I discover and uncover
Whats been hidden from me
Since the beginning of history
Black Kings and Black Queens
Ruling nations Righteously
And not living their lives savagely
Like we've been taught.
We've been sold, raffled, and bought
Becoming someones property
The beginning of slavery
The beginning of iniquity
The changing of Humanity
We live in a country that says it was founded on liberty
But, truth is, it was founded on slavery!
My ancestors blood, sweat and, tears!
For hundred of years, it was Massa that we feared
And we still do.
In the words of Malcom X "Who are you?"

I AM Love

I AM Love
The very essence of it.
I breathe it.
I live it.
I speak it.

I AM Love
Unconditional.
Fearless.
Powerful.
Magnificent.

I AM Love
Warm to the touch.
Easy on the soul.
Pleasant to the ears.
Gentle on the eyes.

I AM Love
Divine.
Kind.
Infinite.
Refined.

I AM Love
Pure as water.
Light as air.
Bold as fire.
Giving as the Earth.

I AM Love.
