. . .My Poetic Thoughts. . .
I remember. . .
Drum beats
Waking my soul
Opening my frozen heart
Burning candles
Casting a shadow
Vivid
Playfully vague virgin eyes
The Swan
Gliding across a lake
One that isn't her home
A mother cries for her children
The ones she has left
Towering on the grassy
plains
Happy to be where she belongs
A stubborn mom tries to communicate
To call to say hello
Flying high in the open
sky
Going from one home to a prison
A child is pushed to do their best
A mother forgives, forgets, and remembers
Your my beauty
Your my beauty
my life
my soul
my everything.
Through you I see what a mistake my life would be without you
I think I love you
I know I miss you
That moment together
That touch of your hesitant hand
An hour of bliss
United to bring peace to each others lives
Together to find happiness again
I'm Black
I'm black
even though I don't play ball
I don't spit out phat ryhmes
I'm not a gangsta
50 cent is not my idol
"Yo! wats crackulating?" is not part of my daily vocabulary
I'm black
I'm African
I don't speak the language
I can't shake my ass as much as they do
My family isn't poor or starving
I don't have a thick accent
I was born in Canada
I'm African
I'm black and African
I write poetry
I want to learn more about my background
I soud white when I try to speack the language
I can say hello and how are you
Ingoni
I'm not ignorant to the fact i'm stereotyped
I'm black and African
I am me
Stupid, Stupid Little Girl
Stupid, stupid little girl
Wished she�d be the one he�d twirl
Gave him her heart
Gave him her soul
Just wished she could be his girl
Stupid, stupid little boy
It was her he would always annoy
Took another�s heart
And received another�s soul
Just wished to no longer be a boy
Stupid, stupid little child
Tried to keep her feeling mild
Gave her heart
Have her soul
Just wished again to be a child
