One Chapter

My life is an open book
she says this to people all the time
when they ask where did you come
from and how did you get here,
here being the state of mind
calm spirit
she seems to exude
all the time
when given the opportunity to tell
the story
it never sounds good
the trial
the tribulation
apparent
deception
but she smiles and says
she understands how they're
thinking
for she used to have her own
perception
gave too much credit
to the tools
of trade
the people who make
the rules that govern
the land
she has since discovered
through
unction
interpretation
intuition
that the plan all along
was to move
the minds of man/woman
that they
would believe
they had control of her
present let alone her future
but the God she serves
today is the
same God that
her ancestors
believed
yesterday,
today
the spotlight
has revealed
an orchestrated play
and she is the main
character
the Queen
protected
directed
destined
to succeed
all else are pawns
in a laid out
strategy
that the minds of men
will never comprehend.
