We survived to know the TRUTH. The beauty of life we lived rushing Against the odds that hardly ever Favored US. And then this now we Wade through subtle tides of the River this Nile so true. We be like Trying to divide the time from Pain of strain? Flinch and define The sense in my mind. I am Inclined to decide I am right.

A promise at the Bay in the stray of the day. We need This fluidity of immortality. This is Divine and they be like aahaa! The Kente Cloth comfort comes! It IS that time! And all this while I wandered a mile from the Nile. Now I realized with real eyes I was Thirsty thus, trust this that we seek To WRITE the WRONGS we have Been seared with. So we be like I AM STRONG then sing that song!! Sun STRONG! EARTH SPRUNG! Birth flung! HOME RUN! WE BELONG! Glory of this story KENTE CLOTH BE BORN!
