Kneel Unto Heaven Stand Upon Faith (The Book of Esther)
Lord, I'm going to hold steady on to You and You've got to see me through.
Harriet Tubman
Heritage to Queens and Kings to proclaim battles with written declarations of one's sovereignty with unspoken philosophical weapons
Twisted tongues in life, adaption of its feeble scorn
In the hereafter, I have glimpsed mortality to give hearts reprisal upon reborn
To the keepers of the wind, fire, air, and of the sea
The fourscore entwined, defined of mouths when...

thirty-won
is this a birthday,
or the reminder of an impending anniversary?
does it bring to mind that near fatal January day?
are you happy you ultimately stayed?
you were 17,
you had been adopted at 2,
you moved every 4 years,
you were recently diagnosed with bipolar.
stability and consistency were long gone concepts,
drugs found you along the way,
loneliness was the only view,
you felt pathetic while your mother wept.
you were 20,
you had the girl and lost her,
you dropped out of college,
your...

how, now, i’m possible
No. 12 From the Children’s Collection]
“Nothing is impossible; the word itself says ‘I’m possible!’”
―Audrey Hepburn
o’er our blue mountains,
i wish i could fly,
how, now, impossible;
swing on the white clouds
that gently float by,
how, now, impossible. ...

A Fable of Success
A camel safari and a bright red Ferrari, were parked on the road to success.
The car door was open, the salesman hope’n, I’d honor his pitch with a yes.
But the camels were braying, their owners praying, I’d hire their service instead.
Sounding like parrots, proclaiming their merits, playing to the thoughts in my head.
Not being subtle, each had the rebuttal, for whatever the other would say.
Extremely persuasive, clever and evasive, like many universities today.
One had great speed, and would surely succeed, given the favored terrain.

The Job Interview
She sat in her chair fidgeting. She sized up the room and saw the men looking poised and confident. She wondered why she was there. She had done her research and knew that there had never been a woman hired for the position she was there to interview for. Thoughts of doubt flooded her mind. It was pointless. Its not that she wasn't qualified. Qualification was one thing that she wasn't lacking. Years of putting in her dues had paid off in that regard. This was a man's world. Although she had found her place, it was a place that those men were comfortable with. This was different. She was...

Standing In The Light Of His Heaven
Ahh that super vanity word that has been the downfall or uprising of women since the beginning of our time.
It is Wednesday and we’re almost through another work week, where is time evolving. In lieu of that question, I do hope everyone is adjusting to the absence of the hour.
The energy being released here today leading up to a pivotal moment of watching a Solar Eclipse is and will be crucial to the mind Heaven (heart), Earth (the temple), and it plays like a magnetic field to the soul (rebirth).

Being a Man
I see a lot of boys that's constantly being mislead
Hearing a lot of noise that makes them have a big head
Thinking they got it all together by what's in their vision
Sinking & fall into whatever that grabs their attention
Pretty girls in love wit da gangsta lean, da vicious thug lifestyle
a bright smile to da drug money, party with da night crowd
Breaking down Swishers & White Owls next to da cocaine white pile
no patience for education cause they tryna chase dat bag right now
Luxurious & fast cars with wet paint rolling on...

the agony of healing...
it's so hard witnessing someone choosing to not even try
raising razor-wire around their mind
thinking it's protection...
...but it's not...
...it's restrictive...constricting
blocking out any semblance of true sight
welcoming the blindness taking hold of their inner eye
gouging out reality with cannibalistic claws
while through parted fingers they jealously watch
as others gather the tatters of their own damaged lives
...and carefully rebuild
sewing seams in need of healing
discarding scraps no longer needed

They always told me,
It’s hard to find what you don’t know you’re looking for
But overtime I’ve realized it’s much harder to find what’s hidden inside of yourself.
That moment when your heart is troubled with all the worries of the uncertain future.
Wondering what you’d do with your life, or whether you’re doing the right thing.
It gets even harder when you’re back at home, at night, in your room, doors closed and you’re all alone—far away from your friends and the voices start pouring in:- “but what are you doing with your life?”, “What if today where...
