I Am

I am strong and determined I wonder about world peace, socialism and hate I respect all regardless of race No matter how they may act towards me I hear crickets beneath my feet I see shadows soaring around me I want equality for my black skin Cause where we are at now, we can lose or win I am strong and determined I pretend to be a superwoman, no one can stop me I feel God’s hand upon me I touch God and God touched me from my head to my feet I fear no man, woman or beast I will never succumb to defeat I worry about mass destruction and murder everyday I worry will it ever go away I worry about these young people getting a better life With no more turmoil, disease, war or strife I hope for democracy, justice and world peace These three little words fail to exist I cry seeing racism, disrespect and pain No one wants to take the blame No one feels the pain No one feels ashamed I am strong and determined I understand the universal energy in me I say respect, have pride and dignity No matter how low you have fallen to Satan the beast I dream of God cleansing the world’s soul Protecting the elders as they grow old I try to smile even when I am down Cry like a baby when no one’s around I am strong and determined Who is going to stop me!
