🖋️Sticks & Stones

Imagine the pain of a man with a million thoughts
Trying to think outside of the box
A different time on a thousand clocks
And a 3rd eye that’s lost to a thousand cloths

Or better yet
The pain of a man with a billion dreams
Tied into a billion memories
Persecuted at a billion degrees
But won’t let go

Like a tree’s last leaf

Every Breath I breathe

Is Poet Perfection

But if you’re Hearings Selective
It’s Objective
And Over Ruled by the Truth
That if you can’t hear you

You’ll Never Hear Me

The Echo

Or The Inner Glow
Of The Essence of the Ultimate Soul
Written in Blood and Etched in Stone

The Legacy of the Strong
Inherited as a Song
Of Survival, in Which we Rival the Wrong

I was Raised, Calling Aurora My Home
Then I found a World of my Own
In Which The Spirit, Built me a Throne

Wouldn’t You Know

The Moorish American Hieroglyph
Go Falcons
If you know Heru, you Get the Higher Sense
If Not, you need some Vitamins

I Know I Bare the Lord’s Likeness
I’m Lightning

That Lives on the Earth

A Child of God
Against all Odds

Defied They Crucifixion
Now in Their Midst I Walk

We Walk
We Talk
We Rise

Fail Just to Fly
We In Flight
Like

Listen
We Living
The Definition
Of the Bare Essentials
Of Our Existence

My Spirit ain’t Built
For Building or Being in Prisons
It’s More like Light Trapped inside a Prism

So Let me Shine

Till The Jury Gains Sight from my Glisten

I May if I might
Have Your Undivided Attention

But the Deaf don’t Hear
Let Alone Listen

Be That as it may
Bitten Tongues
Provide no Provisions

And We Are

Everything the Matrix is Missing
Neo Soul, We Can’t Sync With They System

The Glitch
Because We Living
The Conundrum of what used to be a Conscious Christian
And You Lost if You Ain’t Listening

But This is Where The Sidewalk Ends
In a World Where Peace Doesn’t Exist
My Loves, Become My Exit

Not Dead, Or Born Again
But Resurrected

Blessing

I Know Who I Am
I Know Who You Are Too

God Is Love
When We Gone Bear Some Fruit

Free Of Poison
That We Can Share With the Youth

Like Here Beautiful Blessing
God Loves You Too

Signed The Middle Man
AKA You

Furthest I could Go To Speak
Or Like Cephas, You Might Follow Me

Be Free

Wherever You Are
Stand Firm and Protect Your Heart

There Is
A True Spirit of God
To Honor it is To Bless Us All

Islam
Commit To Your Call

Amen

May The Begotten
Never Be Forgotten
Or Wasted

May We Be Like the Light
After You’ve Faced It

Our Life Is Like a Smile with Braces
Where Perfection Ain’t Our Nature

But It’s What Our Next Phase Is

The Last Gift In Pandora’s Box, or Jar
If You’ve Studied That Hard
Reached back That Far

Just to Realize
It’s Really Just an Opened Heart

And We’re a Prayer for Light in the Dark

Yes Hope
Is Home
No

I Hope
I’ll Make
It Home

Wrong

I Know I Will

But I Don’t Know Your Will
So Forgive Me
For Not Submitting
To An Equal
A Hidden Hero

And I’ll Do the Same
But Forget Me Not

Golden is My Name
And You Are…

Your Brother in Love and Truth
