I feel compelled
To leave you with something to digest.
In these times you have manifested distrust.
Selecting those you oppose,
...
You say you remember me,
From a past I have long forgotten?
And you remember almost in detail...
What I did as a child and what schools I attended.
...
When you chose to stay away from comprehension...
You traveled further than you knew from understanding.
What was then basic,
If you had grasped and held onto it...
...
You want to be led to greatness.
You believe that it comes,
Without pain and sacrifice.
You perceive it to be a condition taught.
...
I am not here to beat the beast.
Nor did I come,
To sneak a sniff of its presence.
Not to cower kneeling in defeat.
...
Gon' git outta here...
Trying to spread that mess!
You ain't heard me say nuthin'...
About her or her ugliness.
...
When the pain begun begins to mend,
The sky is brighter.
The clouds then start to drift.
The rain dries and the thunder stops.
...
Someone begging to be read,
Has an ego to be fed.
Has some insecurity,
About what it is they do.
...
Look!
Here is the real deal.
Listen up.
Nothing...
...
Well...
They 'all' were given the same opportunity,
To come out of hiding and tell the truth!
A few are coming forward.
...
