Evening With Destiny
Evening With Destiny

I have loved you with undying love

placed you so high, so high above

you have denied me my equal rights

sold my beloved children deep in the night

I ‘ve done all I could do to win this fight

in this land I never belonged

Jim Crow laws made me wrong

yet, my legacy grew deep and strong

between the far right and corporate greed

on my “tity” you still want to feed

I’m forever struggling Black

fighting the horrors of poverty and lack

you maintain wealth power privileged white

yet, the soul of America is black as night

no wages for the work of our hands

it was my ancestor’s blood that fed the land

BLM now takes center stage

because the children's hearts are on fire with rage

lady liberty pretends not to see

AMERICA…

Healing Room...

within these humble walls of life vs. death

I’m thankful and prayerful for every breath

in this room as my time passes

a renewed soul is born from burning ashes

I’m cured with the elixir of my pain

the flesh of body rest not in vain

early each morning the angel calls my name

in this room I cry my tears, I face my deepest fears

the promise of joy stills my sorrow

no shadow will cast defeat over my tomorrow

my room is filled with truth and light

I live out my dreams it is my divine right

divine wisdom gives me spiritual insight

I sometimes toss and turn deep in the night

it is with faith and belief that I have learned to fight tormented and taunted by many regrets

the angel’s whispers… my child do not fret

destiny is not done with you yet

hidden in this room God’s secret plan

rise daughter rise and stand

AMERICA …you never LOVED ME
