Here To Stay ("i Rise" Style)

Here to Stay (i rise style) You may hate me with bliss Each and every day, You can wound my soul, But my smile you can’t take away My thoughts are foreign Black flowers to your bouquet, Through mockery and hatefulness Thoughts strut confident to a new day Why must you want to see me beaten and broken down? Does your blood simmer when I smile amongst your many frowns? If hatred is your oil, and spite be your fuel Then may God clean the insides, of such a neglected jewel My flawed teeth will shine in suns A smile you can never take away, You can tell me rights and wrongs But my ideas are here to stay Love and peace: James
