LOVE OF LITERATURE AND HISTORY

This is the last time I will stray The night before the Genesis Lust has darkened all my days Succumbing to my nemesis Dreaming of what we built Before we begin, I hasten Could it be the Catholic Guilt? As history breeds anticipation What a relief to not be a bride The whiteness won’t conceal the lie The jokes our guests throw at your pride Knowing my number’s twice as high Our children will resemble me I can avoid all questions And no new branches on the tree From my past indiscretions You have loved before me—but with me you’ve been true As you cannot hold back the tears And we exchange, “I do” I will eradicate your fears A few days after I was made one I look with lament where you lay I told my wife that we were done This is the last time I will stray

Blood is thicker than water—when water is steam Blood is what was spilled to stop fulfilling A Dream The same blood of a peasant is shared with a King Blood was Ali’s gift to the supremacists’ Ring Blood is what the owner gave to the slave British blood in black bodies—the master would crave Blood’s another word you may use for your kin Except the Blood that you damn for their darker skin

Love is like a chemistry lab Love is rolling seven after six Love is being black to catch a cab Love is just the latest fix Love’s a word you use for like Love is a sarcastic slight Deadly as a lightning strike Love’s the other side of spite Love is pet names that you hate Dare not tell it to your mate Love is seeing your name carried Kids who love you after you’ve been buried

There is POWER in my Voice, Yes / Don’t consider it a weapon / The pen is sword and shield, my protection / Just like how we must mask to fight against Corona / At Last, the writing has awakened my Persona / I take a Stand, and hatch a Bizarre Plan / I’m like Clark Kent, suitin’ up to strike the Klan / From Rosa to Recy, I’ll make sure they see me / Celia didn’t die in vain; the pain will free us / They hated us for centuries, couldn’t be us so they beat us / I was destined to lead, since before I was a fetus / So meet us with some empathy or stay your ass home / The time is mine; I shine like Ali—never call him Clay / The oppressed make history, each and every day / Now, whether you’re an atheist or all you do is pray / Keep Moving Ahead cause you’re a King, defeat can never come your way.
