My People. My People.
How beautiful and sacred you are.
My People!
In the eyes of My People
I see oceans overflowing their boundaries
with your tears.
In the hearts of My People
I feel the hurt and pain from countless generations
of unprovoked brutality.
In the smiles of My People
I see weariness from shouldering the weight
of the deceit and illusions.
of the devil's deplorable chronicle of our legacy
In the Blackness of your skin.
I see all that ever was, all that is, and all that is to be.
My People -
first born of the earth
you have not lost your greatness
just look beyond the centuries of deceptions
and see yourself in the inception of time itself.
My People -
it is you, it has always been you - goddess and gods
developers of languages and writing, mathematics and science
of every persuasion, music, dance and art, governments and
societies that flourished in truth and justice, agriculture and
architecture, teachers of health and healing, beauty and design,
spirituality, religion, and the list is endless
as you are without end.
My People -
even at your lowest vibration you are great
as the world imitates you, especially those opposite you -
the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you dress and sing,
dance, and preach -
your African features - from the Blackness of your skin to the
kinky-ness of your hair, to the fullness of your lips, your femininity,
your masculinity, YOU in all your grandeur.
My People -
let us once again speak softly, walk gently, hear clearly, feel fully,
and KNOW profoundly, the making of you, the Purpose of you.
My People -
I Adore You.
Peace, to My People.
