Diamond Made
I’m carbon-based,
Resurrection cornerstone foundation laid
Diamond made
These obsidian eyes
sardius shine ...
agate Illuminating
my igneous bright coal face
With volcanic intensity,
my onyx lips glow
And the chest cavity
pressure beneath
fire paint
these
pulmonary
walls
Sparkling carbuncle candlelight beats,
which wax amethyst faithfully
through the opaque, misty waterfalls
A Morning Star rebirth future
was the burning bush path
I chose to embrace
Forged in the hardest fires,
I was fashioned
with mercy and grace
Mind unbendable ... spirit unbreakable
Thus, I declare: I’m Diamond made
From the naked sunburst moment
understanding first clothed me,
I was emerald told
my birthright as a slave —
Sky-sculpted, unfettered Sapphire tears
that were Diamond made
My first father chain-born,
felt the most pressure
ever
put upon
a clay-skin carbon vessel
My first shipped mother,
iron umbilical link womb held
in a dungeon cargo cell,
taught her children wisely
not to murder rebel
And the pressure to bottle that rage,
blew the doors off the cage
of my bloodline’s collective captive mind
Unlimited cosmic expansion
was our cherubic wings, innervision legacy
A spinning free-thought pulsar, Supernova aorta core,
which turquoise topaz bleed
And the pressure in their veins,
from the plantation struggles and the
abolition strivings,
was peacefully presbyterian passed down to me
Genetic roots pressure burst the oppression pipes,
and let the chrysolyte wind in my beryl lungs
jacinth breathe DNA free
Ruby righteous spirit flow to the firmament
was my ligure liberated destiny
I’m the dove offspring of Love Infinity,
pure carbon-based ...
Double blessing of joy,
that is 24/7 carat cut,
be my jasper posterity legacy
I’m Diamond made —
Resurrection cornerstone foundation laid
Sapphire twin palm pressure
is all these praying, crystal eyes ever did need
