Voudu Is Me

Voudu is me 
Embedded in my soul
Nature and ancestors
Has the real control
Witches is what I thought
The names in which were given
To those who used the natural resources for the ways of living
The medicine doctors the natural healers
They used spirit food 
Plants, flowers, herbal remedies
Not man made killing toxic chemicals
Raw seeds from the earth
Birthed
Voudu is me
I was afraid 
a mind boggling escapade
But the lies were just told
For soul control
Voudu is in me
Flowing like blood all through my DNA
What was bearthed in me will forever stay
