I WAS CONSIDERED

THE SEED SPROUTED FROM

THE LEVELING PLAINS OF THE

EARTH

THAT I AM

I AM THE SONS OF DAUGHTERS

THE OFF SPRING OF BROTHERS

AND THEIR BROTHERS

BROKEN BRANCHES WHICH HELD

TIGHTLY TO LYNCH MOB

CONFESSIONS

THE TEARS OF CRIES RAPED IN

BACK FIELDS OF OPEN SKIES

I AM MEMORIALS

DEDICATED STATUES OF SEGREGATED

IMPERMISSIBLE COLOR

UNJUSTIFIABLE MURDER

AND FOUR LITTLE GIRLS

HE IS I-I AM HER

MOCHA SUSTAINABLE FLESH

HISTORICALLY POWERFUL ABOVE

ALL SUSPICION

FISTS CLUTCHING THE PRIDE

OF MY COLOR AND MY LOVER

I AM THE REVERSE INTELLECTUAL

STATUS FOR INFERIOR

HATE

THE IMPERIAL STATUE OF

PROMINENT DOMINANCE OVER

ENCRYPTED PSYCHE

I AM HIDDEN AGENDAS THAT WILL

SUPPLICATE

TO DUPLICATE MY EXISTENCE

I AM MENTALLY STRONG

EMOTIONALLY EQUAL TO

THE SEQUEL OF MY NUBIAN

QUEEN

WITHOUT VIOLENCE OR

PRETENTIOUS RIGHT

THE POSTERITY OF MY FIGHT

ISN'T TO SUCCUMB TO INTRICATE

LESSONS

PROFESSIONS OF AN EXTREME

ENTITY

WITHOUT A CAUSE

I AM MORE THAN JUST A BILL

SITTING….. ON CAPITOL HILL

MY VOICE VIBRATES THE WORLD

WITH THUNDEROUS SOUNDS LIKE

TWO MILLION BOOTS

IN A MILLION MAN MARCH

I AM MORE THAN BABY MOMMA

DRAMA

GOLD FILLED FRONTS

BLUNTS AND BROADS

OR EXPENSIVE CARS

I AM MORE THAN SYSTEMATICALLY

REVERTED TO ANYONE'S PREVERSE

UNIVERSE

I AM THE COMPRESSED OPPRESSIVE

IDEA OF DIVERSITY

I AM JESUS CHRIST

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

HARRIET TUBMAN

AND ROSA PARKS

I AM EMMITT TILL

LA AMISTAD AND TRAYVON MARTIN

I AM THE VOICE OVER

VOICES THAT WILL NEVER

BE HEARD

THE CELEBRATION OF BLACK HISTORY

LASTING MORE THAN A

DAY OR A MONTH

MY SEEDS ARE DEEPLY ROOTED

INTO SOILS OF MOTHER EARTH

I AM THE BLISTERED HANDS

OF REDEMPTION AND THE

FOUNDATION OF EQUALITY'S

ORIGINAL BIRTH

I AM THE INHERITANCE OF COLOR

I AM NEITHER SHAKEN NOR STIRRED

THE BOND OF MY ROOTS ARE NOT

EASILY BROKEN

I WILL BARE THE HOODIE OF LIFE

EVEN AS THE RAIN  CEASE TO FALL

FOR I AM HERE

I

AM

 HERE

I AM TRAYVON
