Generation Snowflake
A snowflake is a self-absorbed, entitled, overly emotional individual.
Whose to blame?
Children born after 1980 received a consistent message from adults: life is dangerous.
Adults/Parents will do everything in their power to protect you from harm, not just from strangers.
They describe how their childhood itself has changed greatly during the past generation.
Many Baby Boomers and Gen Xers can remember riding their bicycles around their hometowns, unchaperoned by adults, by the time they were 8 or 9 years old.

The Celebration Of Femineity
I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say; I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.
Harriet Tubman
I am a little late; however, the celebration continues for the creation of us women given unto man as a gift from the Almighty Creator.
In the midst of my femininity, I had my Annual gynecological with fasting lab, I had a dental cleaning, no cavities, my gums are still healthy and not receding.
What is meant when you say Woman’s International Day...

It's not always about being the hero, sometimes it's about
being the trickster.”—Anansi Boys
akan-jamaican passion
landscaped not by vext ration
a little axe that fells big trees
cunning in sun and rain and breeze
fearful of no assassin
stealthy without moccasin
an octopus with human
face and spider’s acumen

Poison Wells
Fixations to relation
We speak the same language of retaliation
Revolting against the establishment in theory
Without the means to make a change
Uttering clever ways to lodge complaints in unofficial petitions
Incite a riot on the grounds of self righteous seditions
What’s wrong and what is right when it’s all a matter of how you quote the narrative
Half empty gauges of our lack
Conditioned by self robbery
How do we take our perceptions back?
Tell me what to believe
When our goods and evils are relegated to the roles of truth...

ok, gorja
enough of the hipster identity crisis of having 'a vagabond heart' or having 'a gypsy soul' you all keep placing in your shitty little bios, slapping on the titles of your surface level books as well as your muddy twaddled poems that aren't even relating to the root of the matter, where we were accused of dreadful crimes and massacred like vermin without a single note found in one of your so called educational history books,
it's a slur and a death sentence rolled into one, we're born into this day to day living where nothing is constant, striking matches until it dies down...

Whispers From My Great Gran To An Indigo Child
Hear me through the harkening of time my Indigo child
Your strands upon your Crown of Glory I give unto you, ordained long ago from the portal of the ski
You are like a flower in a harvest field, nourishing the embedded roots as they grow wild
Tell the world of our lineage that we walk among the winds which echoes the wishes, hopes, and inspirations of Kings and Queens
The Stars, the Sun, and the Moon, shall be your guide, to give you the secrets of the universe in the subconscious of your ancestral dreams
The oath, I bequeathed...

A Spiritual Pilgrimage (Purple Candle)
Close your eyes and slowly inhale the touch of the wind
It speaks of old Negro tales the ear refuses to lend
Sacred whispers of the Middle passage as ships on troubled waters braved
Christened by the dark depth as weary souls wade
Captives of past generations residing in cramped living quarters on a journey to a new frontier
Only to fall prey to savagery, more brutal than killing the buffalo and hunting the deer
Shh… can you hear the echoes give us freedom as it bemoans
Hope and...

Ordained
Ordained by the tip of my staff
Angles lead by Joshua slaying everything in our wicked path
Cleansing the earth of ever deceptive foul slithering beast
Commence the night, and enjoy the bloody feast
Well, you bring this phantom into play,
I have two swords one to allure and the other to slay
Do I look like I am remotely worried, no one in Heaven even knows your ancient demonic name
The headless demon severed, shitted, and pissed on, still wallowing in self-pity, and earthly shame
And now you are starting to hear these...

Thy Will Shall Be Done (The Covenant)
For your arrogance, Damballa and your spiritual treason, your malice, your racial contempt, your hate, YOU and your regrets were tossed off the Mothership
Then to label yourself in this dimension as the demoness Maman Brigitte who scowls the night killing babies, including the divine spiritual killing of your own
Bedazzling men and women with false spiritual ideology in hopes their minds are confused, too far gone
And you want the world to worship a snakehead you have placed upon your throne
The Lilith of the night, a Jinn, an Earth slithering...

The Ordained Rite Of Passage (The Oungan)
May the soft winds of my culture speak the faith of my tongue
May my Hebrew ancestors uphold the credence of my intellect
May my footsteps propel me forward where my pilgrimage will not be in vain
This incantation is about the wickedness of the human heart and sometimes, yes God uses his most humbling servants to do battle to balance the scales of good and evil, therefore, sometimes you most utilize the tongue of evil and the sword to castrate the wicked tree to make room to sow the reaping of good harvest.
In a better sense of judgment,...
