Nation Building

Heart of a Soldier with a mind that could teach a nation
Collecting intel about the diaspora to add to the equation
So my poetic creations can provide sustenance for the mind
Serving intellectual poetry like the theories of Einstein

I'm trying to enlighten our minds as I seek knowledge
The type that we won't find in our high schools nor colleges
It's been buried beneath foliage, cleverly hid in plain sight
Revealing the details of the hell from our ancestors plights

Tales of their strengths and might to fight against injustice
Hitting them with the hammer & telling 'em, you can't touch this
Raising black fists as signs of collective unity
The tales that I reveal enlighten you and me
