AMERICA …you never LOVED ME

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…

I’m the angry Black Bitch

that you forced me to be

I have hated you and loved you

yet, you have never ever loved me back

lynched & castrated my husband

shot my sons in the back

now it is my beautiful precious daughters

you want to kill and attack

flooded my communities

with homelessness disease and crack

by your irrational fears

I’ve endured economic castration for 400 years

while you are being amused

I’ve been hunted wanted & abused

singing songs born of the blues

this abusive love affair can’t go on

no longer do I desire to be a woman scorned

like a battered wife my love is gone

my inner spirit must be reborn

from my bleeding womb my babies were ripped

as we came by the millions in the holes of slave ships

no longer will I tolerate your lies

for centuries you crawled between my big bloody thighs

I even gave you children with the bluest of eyes

yet, you still ignore my painful cries

and even now you never apologized

by the grace of God my faith has been weaponized

why, oh why is it me only me you despise

I am warning you it is time you recognize

this hate will lead to our nation’s demise

AMERICA…

with destiny we have a date

only love can change our fate

or we will all die like fools

from this racial hate

burning in the flames at

Hell’s Gate!

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

for I have come to save you from the evil of man

to restore your soul to give you wealth untold

to recover all the devil stole

on the shoulders of the ancestors, you stand

your steps are ordered please understand

the Blood of Jesus blesses the work of your hands

no devil in hell will prevail all hexes and spells will fail

in my room on my knees the Lord provides all my needs

I bare confessions from my soul, freed from the lies I was told

my spirit reborn by the rays of the sun

I rise with the courage of joy to come

blessed are thee that walk by faith for

they are covered by mercy and grace

this room is my healing place righteousness lives within this space

the gift of grace empowers me to run this race the glow of youth is

upon my face never ever do I feel alone or disgraced retreat to your room and close the door

the hope of love peace and life you can restore
