Roots

Roots Roots a five letter word that start underneath a tree With seeds planted for many generations to grow Some spread across the world to fulfill many of their dreams Coming out their mother's wound opening their eyes And seeing a world full of freedom So many die crushing their dreams and leaving them underneath the dirt Roots is a five letter word that forms the genetic form of me Spreading my DNA of many backgrounds Seeing a black man in the cloud hollering peace While the other man shot him crying and praying for better days Hoping to be able to spread my roots and seek the dreams that holds my dignity Black power, I scream with pride Seeing vision of me becoming a political leader Leading my people into the right path Changing the world to make it a better place Spreading the roots of goodness to save the people from the evilness Roots a five letter word that express love bringing everybody together As one nation under God praying And showing love to one another Instead of killing each other Roots a five letter word that can save or deliver you From anger that you have inside Instead of taking out your problems on someone else Why won’t you just talk to that person about your problems? Maybe he or she could help Roots a living thing that grows in your mother wound Giving birth to another seed that can explore the world
