In Citation For Liberation
In citation For Liberation
by: Jonn'a Houck
Liberation,
which comes from the root word liberate.
Which means to free from domination by a foreign power.
Freed from or opposed to traditional social and sexual attitudes.
Which is liberated.
So this is not just a poem
but for the man that no longer think as a child.
but seeks the knowledge to get out of the corrupt state,
in other words, to be educated.
You see my generation is lost
and all my teachers were ignorant
my teachers were a bunch of robbers and drugs dealers
whose minds was confined to a state of belligerence.
So everything they gave me was the opposite of benevolence.
Now, as of today, I strive for excellence.
Not for my acceptance but as a man I feel it's my duty
to provide my people with something more precious than jewelry.
To bring awareness that our women
shouldn't be defined by the size of her chest or booty,
but by the intelligence of her mind.
Which is often exercised by the men that she's screwing.
See y'all really don't understand me
It may seem like I'm going off course
but I'm still inciting freedom.
I just want to give you some point of reason
I just want you to know its a shame
that our life force is given to us in semen
Yet, we constantly waste it away for carnal pleasing.
Walking around head high and chest poked out like we know it all,
quick to a call a women ***** but do that makes you a frog?
I guess we up and forgot where we come from,
I guess we found out how much a dollar can change a nation.
I guess we see the influence Europeans had on our spiritual makeup.
Our ancestors that shed their blood in this country is probably ashamed of us.
Yet I'm still inciting freedom y'all.
The truth is unalterable and universal
the truth can either set you free
or it can hurt you.
