I Will

I will not lose  my head even if 
They blame me  and doubt my prowess ,
I will wait and not be tired of waiting,
Even if  they lied and hate my gut ,

I have dreams…dreams that can be realized ,
I have thoughts…thoughts of goodness and peace ,
I will overcome disaster and triumph over my foes ,
And I will treat them the same ,for I’m empowered
by the almighty and my will can’t be broken,
even if the truth I’ve spoken is being twisted .

I will talk with the public and keep my promise
and walk with rulers and not lose my head or humility ,
I will not be distracted by friends or enemies ,
I will dominate the earth and its fullness  for it’s
the  Lord’s promise for me …HIS SON.
