'His-Story Lessons'
My mind's mixed with a mish-mash
of the mental's memory n' myth
so accustomed to having been fed
a diet of 'adjusted his-story' with...
bullshit, and no I'm not crying
'bout denying the past
but I look back to
get a pass...
on it I steady aim my sights
that appear too far out of sight's aim
diligent as ever to always stake claim
to my birth's right, the family's name
wasn't born into riches,
yet I pitch this
being a Wise One,
just one of many, my momma's son...
Although this society may point the finger
at what I'm lacking I won't ever run,
and yet without parental guidance
that provided us
with hope and possibilities
'crapshoot' was a reality because,
who knew of the effect...
if when 'their fruit' bared,
it'd be ripe when plucked from the tree?
Still, mashing in the mind, what exactly
will be the final outcome of MY family's history...
