Embracing Future and Past Perception
My mind floats on bended echoes
that chases screams in the stillness of the night.
Still this lies incomprehensible for my
words to translate from my brain to my mouth.
My diction seems to be stuck on a river
of friction that leads from north to south.
Transporting my mind frame back to the
days of civil war,
Where slavery was the tipping point.
But it's 2009 and my point
Is not to tip-toe around the issues of yesterday,
Because slavery still lives today.
It continues to fester in our minds,
Allowing our thoughts to bind our spirit
And imprison our ambition.
The mission should be to escape
The hard knock non-fiction of the place in which
We were raised and filter out the
Outside polluted friction that
Blocks your thoughts towards progress.
There is truth in the
Transparency of life,
You just have to look.
Look to have more than life gives you,
For we are the Presidents of our destinies.
The destiny of a people that lies
In the present and the future.
