Looking back in order to discern intricate life lessons
Presently the world spinning contemplation
Future waiting to be tapped
Limitless possibilities
Conflicts and Resolutions
Take two steps slide
Reconstruction of my mind
Expansion
Inundation of knowledge
Increases forming dendrites
Producing actions
Pulse of energy traveling down the axon sending messages through the synaptic gap
Transformation higher heights
Destination impact
Liberation of past regrets
Collaboration
Community development
Historical preservation
Through oral forms
Beauty is in the eyes
Photographic imprints
Kaleidoscope Rhythm on canvas
Cultural diversity
Daughter of the hill not a place ideal
Made it through the cracks
Not ashamed to look back
Reach out and touch mamma, grandmamma, and them
A specially designed gift to this world
Encompassing the dreams and prayers of many generations
My purpose
Transformational leadership
Shattering all statistical data
What’s the matter?
African pride indeed
Nubian Princess
Wrapped in the garment of this beautiful wilderness
Home of my native ancestor’s
Mighty Spirit breathe on me that I might speak tongues of other lands
Transference of cultural messages
Jambo, Hola, Koneechiwa, Gootentag, Chawucha
Est-ce que vous parler francais?
Oui, Je suis parler francais
Mixture of many voices
Creates the anthem song
We’ve come this far by faith
Peace be still
Steady on the rock
A catalyst for change
Staring down the harden eyes of disdain
Nooses are not for necks but for holding ships in place on docks receiving exports
So I import this thought to you change has come
