Poem by " Kemet Musgrove "
My Mind's Eye
In this color conscious society I see hatred in varieties this pain is deep but ask
yourself will you admit defeat?
Still I weep like willows seeing my people souls are hollow and found stress can be
borrowed when you use the next man's thinking as your role model.
We're all worldly inmates and slaves of tradition. Young soldiers killing over colors but
church folk bang over religions.
I guess that's the lesser of two evils yet the outcome is equal, until he sequel
it's divide and conquer for our people.
So I stay surrounded by negroes in fields and we get arrested for not keeping our
thoughts concealed, destroy than build until this nation is healed.
So it's cashing checks and sex versus church and biblical text can you name one
religion that doesn't have a superiority complex??
I'm not in your social jurisdiction so you really can't see my conviction, so it's verbal
crucifixion to all you snakes that hissing.
Pointing fingers and dissing trying to arouse suspicion but when the poor and righteous cries
out please believe God listens.
So now it's for you that I petition I'm a young black girl with a 3rd eye vision mentally
risen to evade psychic prisons.
But through all my fighting and reciting I will never add up to this world's measurements. I
use to love out of ignorance but now I hate out of intelligence.
You make it relevant!
