Essence

by Everett Price

I am the vision of darkness
The color of night
Magnified in contrast
Inclined to see the light 

I am the sound of resistance
The tune of soulful ears
Every note more intense
Than a symphony of tears

I am the wealth of destitution
Of greater value than gold
A commodity of revolution
Too precious to be sold

I am the soul of my ancestors
A legacy that will never die
In all of my endeavors
Spirit is my guide
