We Need You

WE NEED YOU

We need you.

Not like air

Cuz that you cannot give.

But we need you there like,

Strong arms to carry

That which our shoulders cannot bear

Like…

KNOWLEDGE.

Not to be mistaken for college

We need your innate knowings

That stems from growing up in situations unfit for a king but,

STILL!...

The way you navigate

And make your way towards the top

Nothing can stop you

HOW?

Sometimes I wonder just how could we make it without you?

You be the perfect depiction

GOD reflection is all I see

Kings you BE.

NEVER a “was”

Cuz even tho cousins

And uncle’s

And daddy’s

And brothas forget.

Your remembrance has nothing to do with who you are.

I said your REMEMBRANCE has nothing to do with WHO you ARE.

So even for those

Who don’t know

It’s not too late..

And even if time has passed

The great "dictate" over time and space

Really proves nothing,

Because even if

Decades and centuries have passed

Your bloodline still outlasts

Slavery, the civil rights movement,

And the current situation at hand

You

will always

BE

The original prototype

We <3>

Black Man!

And so like I said,

We need you…

We: Mother, Daughter, Sister Wife.

We need you to do more than survive,

We need you to fight!

We need you to build

We need you to create

We need you to unite and take back what HAS ALWAYS BEEN OURS!

Sun, Moon Stars

We are STILL connected

Queens, heirs to the throne,

Waiting for

YOUR resurrection,

ARISE and come home!
