Well If You Insist

Well if you insist I am not the color of my skin or the clothes on my back. I am not who or what you assume me to be. I am not a foul mouthed gun toting beer swigging cigarette smoking menace to society. I am not a high school drop-out uneducated crime committing felon. I am not your local hi-jacker who ties you up and tosses you in the boot, drops you off in the middle of the veld for no one to find. I am Christian and proud of it! I am A father A lover A brother and A proud uncle and role model to miniatures of me. I am Leader and a thinker and a doer and speaker. I am confident and loud. I am a product of my father and his forefathers. I am product of my mother’s womb and wisdom. I am fearless I am Sound I Am a proud African Son! And I will live my life so that long after my passing it will be remembered! W.Arends
