Affirmative

Affirmative

Life is too short I will not pretend to be anyone else...
I will never want to be or profess to be anyone but myself

Affirmative
Life is too short I'm not a carbon copy or a stencil that can be used
nor a piece to a puzzle

Affirmative
God didn't make no... JUNK
I will not change or reconstruct nor am I under a spot light...

Affirmative
I will not change who I was created to be.

Affirmative
I was made from the Potter's hands
I am who I was created to be...

Affirmative
Brought with a price, set free, redeemed, covered with the blood of Jesus...

Affirmative Action

I’ll tell you what I think
will you think on what I tell?
Where the Hell are you
while they’re busy
whipping me?
Persecuted so you say
the actions of others affirm
it’s the other way around
While you claim I am the demon
by reflections of the past
and the shades of my skin
if you look deep inside
your own skin
You’ll find that your own reflections
have sins shining brighter than those 
that can be claimed mine
Put this in your mind
while you’re crying
for hand-me-outs
and how your beliefs
are self-condescending
like the self-hating Jew
Your biggest enemy 
is not me nor my "kind"
rather, it is you

Untitled #214 / Affirmative Action

He had worked hard all his life, but
he was denied admission
because the other guy was ten points dumber
but a hundred points blacker
