Transcending Minds
I'm looking for a place where greater minds unite
where maybe I could kick back relax and examine Mandelas' plight
where maybe I could compare the theories of Socrates, to your thoughts
or to the thoughts of Plato
or we might just examine the creativity of Van Gogh or Michelangelo
we might want to think and try to sum up all that they said Pharaoh did
or we might want to imagine what the Queen of Sheba as a young princess did
and if time travel is cool with you let's go and chat with Einstein
and as I tie his shoes let's listen to his blues and find out what troubled such a great mind
before they light the torch let's see if we can find any innocence in Joan of Arcs'
eyes
powerful woman, full of ambition, I wouldn't be surprised
maybe we could travel and try to unravel the mysteries of Stonehenge
then find out from the Indians whats up with the circular graves
then maybe we could travel south in time via way of our minds and undo the mysteries of the pyramids
then find out from Shaka Zulu Warrior King why attitude was all his
as we transcend lets find out rom King Solomon when he first realized he was wise, he was deep
then i'd take the balm from that sinner girl and I'd wash my own Masters feet
and as Delilah cut Sampson's hair off after she put him to sleep, I swear one of his dread locks i'd keep
I need a mental massage y'all I need to stimulate my mind an all
I need to know that right here, right now, we're all of one kind you know
one love, one peace, that will never cease
I need you to kick some knowledge to me and I'll do the same back at you
I'm just an average black girl, but in this world my ego is black and blue
So heal me, feel me, but by all means keep it true
Poets, Queens, Warriors, and Kings
Agape Love to you.
