I'Am
I'AM
I am somebody
Iam that
light colored caramel
over spirit
the voice of
ancestors past
i am that voice
within your head
the one that says
are you just gonna watch
or do something
the right thing
Iam your eyes
seing things that
you overlooked
visions that you
have mistook
yes Iam that
voice in your ear
that wont stop
telling you
WAKE UP WAKE UP
for the dormant brain
is good as sheep
although i perceive
mental pictures
silent films
play out in my head
silent because
the tongues of
our ancestors
have been cut out
we have been
consumed
with so much
everyday ****
that many of us
no longer listen
for the words
of those before us
meditate sit alone
focus and perceive
the images the sounds
the voices
yes Iam the one
at the river
watching as the voice
of yemaya
rolls upon the shore
swish swish
have you heard it
yes Iam the one
who took you
out of bondage
from yourself
love hidden within
the walls of your skin
yes I am the one
who released you
from your pain
and negative thoughts
yet you still deny me
but i will
never give up
for it is not I
BUT THE ANCESTORS
who are telling you
you can do this
you can be free
open your mind
open your eyes
open your heart
yes Iam that voice
giving voice to those
that dont have one
adding harmony
to your life
and a perspective
to your soul
i am the destiny
you will come to love
with every waking breath
i reach into the fires
waiting to be burned
yet un-scorched
as rains fall
i stay dry
believing
only you can calm
my thirst
or the fire within
but yet Iam
unseen by you
for i will be
forever spirit
forever I
YES I AM YES I AM
