The crucifixion of Christ is one thing

Oppression cocooned,

Liberty is transforming---

Wings getting ready:-

Butterflying grace,

Metamorphosing freedom,

Caterpillaring,

Sharing awareness,

I am just an old griot

Rapping my own way:-

Slicing through the snow

Gliding over black oppression—

Soaring to freedom:-

MY EBON GIFT

You’re black and comely;

God’s beauty born unto me.

Giving God ...

You’re not the future…

You’re the now…leading us on—

Footprinting the way:-

Boldly I stand here---

Emancipation canvassed;

Grounded in freedom:-

Oppression waning...

Black Power Movement waxing---

Skies of justice glow:-

Building liberty...

Pillaring voting power...

Raising up justice...

Voting overflows…

Black Power’s pot heating up…

Oppression melting…

Black lives still matter…

Oppression slowly dying…

Liberty breathing…

Searching the word book—

No, not the dictionary;

Seeking God’s wisdom:-

Gun violence rising…

Mental illness is waxing;

Concerns are waning:-
