The Color of Hate

She's out in front
Standing higher
Than the rest
Placed on a platform
Elevated just a little
Doesn't make her
Better than the rest
But to them
Something about it
Seems unneccessary
Deems her negative
Questions asked
Are supposed
To be about the
Presentation
Instead the man
Is questioning
Her authority
Could it be her feminity
Her nationality
Her confident smile
Or her commanding tone
The way she moves about the
Room
Handling the microphone
She can't find the right
Word to describe the vibe
But for sure it
Felt discrimnatory
She's not backing down
Although her voice speaks
Volumes in strength
Her face shows
Disbelief and some disgust
She cannot hide the ill
Feeling reeling round
Inside her but
The evening must go on
According to the plan
The color of hate
Shall not win this hour
For the Nubian Queen
Stands in power.

Vital One

So many questions I want to ask
Yet only one is vital
Because we've talk about so many
Things in between
Music, poetry, sex and titles

You see we're both artist in
Our own rite
Been through relationships
Enough to write a book
Or two
But when we collaborate
We be talking partnership
Like getting outta debt
Sailing on ships
Flying on planes
Staying focused
Living in our lane
And on our own
With house and land
Built with mutual understanding
Adoration and intrique
He sees what I need
And can provide
Because what I long for most
Is to be squeezed and kissed
Sending my hormones and passion
On a magic carpet ride
Talking about settling down in more
Ways than one
Just to be aligned
With love at the center
Music, poetry, sex and titles
When I move closer
To him
Will we spend more time together?

Spiritual Strategy

Gotta make a change
In selection process
You know a new approach
For success
Been focused on the wrong
Substance
Hoping to find a King
For a Queen
Always left with a little bit
Of a mess
Direct result of
Counseling with the flesh
Sat down
Had a conversation
With myself
Jesus held the pen
And God did all the talking
I woke up from
My dream conference
And now what's left
Is for me to get to walking
Implementing
Starting with a new set
Of question
What's your take
On God, universe or Spirit
Have you been baptized by water
Washed in the blood
Filled with Holy Ghost power
Have you taken responsibility
For your own sinful actions
Or are you still maturing
Running in place
With no traction
I'm not professing to be
A saint but I know who I am
In the Heavenly realm
So you can answer
With the truth or you can evade
But whatever the case
I'm going to be ahead
Spritual strategy
Trinity unity
Ride or die
In the end we fly
Jesus, God and I.
