Poem Title:
Poem
I wear my heart on sleeve So what I cherish love hate forsake Is engraved on my face Today is no different so how can I be free From the prism of my emotions The book is open knowledge I'm still soaking what takes time to create Is never easily broken You can quote me on my past But I'm still living in the present My adversaries talk behind my back So it's evident they respect my presence And I appreciate the gesture You should appreciate the lecture I'm just stating the obvious Like how the government turned House negro's in lobbyists So I throw up the fist So there's no question what I'm bout What you put in must come out Some say I have no filter I say that right there was & is the #1 problem our people stepped back man While the Europeans raped & robbed em So far me to stop it means For me to comply and become europeanized looks like I drew away from the topic So allow me to further elaborate Some confuse what I speak so profoundly on as harbored up hate when This is clearly not the case The majority of people who are angry It's for a reason not a season So ask questions don't assume The fumes in the fire will be your guide I wear my heart on my sleeve Because I can't help it But I wouldn't have it any other way Even when I say nothing My Face displays exactly What words can't say The saying is people fear What they can't or don't understand Understand me... And to understand me is to know me To know me is to love me And to love me is to know that The feeling is mutual # Hotep
