You see it
I see it
We feel it
It’s ugly.
Power laughing
Kicking and screaming
Lying and wielding
Power tweeting
Manipulating and evading
Stealing and thieving
That lump in my throat
That knot in my stomach
That ache on my heart
That foot on my neck
It’s heavy.
History revealing itself again
Old narratives turning into new narratives
Hypocrisy
Illusions
It’s winning.
Go ahead then.
Let them try.
You know it
I know it
We feel it
It’s rising.
Power praising
Praying and seeking
Creating and healing
Power speaking
Organizing and testing
Resting and reflecting
That fire in my belly
That wisdom in my soul
That truth on my lips
That meditation in my heart
It’s stronger.
Presence is reality
Ancestors lifting me
Culture strengthening my spirit
Justice
Peace
It’s inside.
Go ahead then.
Be.
