A Deeper Understanding Poem by Singleton M. Tate

Pick my pockets, tell me a rhyme...
Spin 'Destiny's Wheel of Fortune' in good time...

Whether you win or lose is up to you...
Take your chances in life, that's what we do...

To force your will on me is just not right...
Don't hate me cause I'm black or white...

Break my confidence and I'll still rise...
Annihilate my livelihood, abort my pride...

With grace and resilience, I must proclaim...
You should have known, who made my frame...

I won't be bound by evil hands...
Inside my soul lives more than man...

Empowering me to keep walking tall...
As I claim Victory, cause I've been Called...
