Up and away 

Sitting still on this ride to a different a place unseen witnessing gateways to dimensions to a world not yet discovered due to the unknowingness of this world 

Persisting to meet and want to seek an outlet pushed over the edge that was buried centuries ago

Hazy dreams of our freedom lost through misconception

Why face false realities of freedom?

Sudden anger strikes a simple glare of hate is passed through tight places of ignorance

Call me twice removed better yet that twice removed with a target on my dome with the stamp on my death certificate stating statistical failure

On second thought let that be twice removed without a logical thought good enough that the skin that shelters my flesh

Let’s consider this pursuit of happiness not so happy so this

Very soul launches forward dissatisfied of the hateful treatment of all humans 

Press rewind; backlash of a whiplash 21st-century slavery derives from worn swollen skin of backbones stronger than our oppressors

We are pressed to achieve the same goals as liars then when my consciousness awoke it was slowly revealed that they were structuring a system of hopefuls to fail

My intellect is proof of my royal ancestors and yes they too were dipped in bronze and golds just as the skin that drapes my vessel of this lifetime

Now tell me which life matters most hanging from willow trees drowning in pools of blood

Or

All dressed in white hiding behind life and greed

This life is for sin 

We as a nation are controlled by major corporations and are mentally enslaved

I am black too, I am not to be feared or gunned down then left with no dignity.

Maybe it’s different for you because I come from a long line of kings and queens I suppose this melanin in my skin is a threat to your white supremacy structure  

To my brothers and sisters

See society would never tell you that you have to protect your intellect

For it is dangerous to have a radical state of mind

It’s important to understand that you must protect your consciousness, but use your knowledge powerfully

You must learn to ground yourself to this very world

Wake up and realize that you are one with earth

We are alive just as the trees our ancestor were hung from in silent woods

See trees are cut down and become witnesses of cycles that support the infrastructure of which they have created to corrupt young minds

Now we are killed by the silence of bullets as the puncture delicate flesh

*Gasping for breath*
