The effects the event the horizon the before and then the after the
miracle of life the hatred of death the
armor of military ensemble the unstoppable the plague the cure the
smiling down on a child frowning down on idleness
The lake the shore the hunger for more the rivers the streams the
sun that beams down on black white and
everything that walks and sings the lighter the flame the bridge over
troubled waters the fathers with no
daughters no the daughters with no supporters the poor that's
getting poorer the people that's out of order the
beginning the ending don't tell the ending the blabber mouth the
seduction the animal instincts the people that
dont think that's on the brink of disaster the boredom the
excitement the juror the indictment the irresponsible
the irreplaceable lawyer the war hero also known as the warrior the
God in me the energy the synergy
He is your majesty He's in me actively the creator the jealous one
The only one the only begotten son the
God of Israel the God that heals so therefore I conclude that I am
healed just by These words
i am jacquelynn bloomfield
i feel depressed, guilty, happy, mad, and sad all at the same time
i say mean things but i dont really mean it
i am jacquelynn bloomfield
i see dead people and i go "crazy"
i dream about whats going to happen in my future which is college and everything else god
has in store for me
i hear things and people think im crazy but im not
i try my hardest to live the right way which is Gods way but life is so hard and satan makes
you do things you will later regret
i am jacquelynn antoinette bloomfield
Why back in the Day,
When Black people didn’t get there way
Sitting out in the field
Waiting on somebody to get us healed
White folks just relaxing
Waiting on them to take some action
Now I’m sitting here in the present
Still some things is not that pleasant
People getting raped and beat
Children and Adults walking with nothing to eat
Some kids going to school
Some THINK THAT’S NOT COOL
SOME ARE TAKING ACTION
Others are just relaxing
Some people just don’t realize
What’s in front of us we need to visualize?
With all those white presidents and know one black
Plenty of us don’t know how to act
It’s they history they need to know
When blacks folks didn’t have no where to go
Now I’m sitting here in the future
Waiting on a new life to begin
With Barack obama change has come to America
We just got to ask our self
Did change come to our plans?
It was one giant leap when we landed on the moon.
It will be one giant leap for black people soon.
Over the years black people have come a long way.
They'll come even farther when Obama becomes President on inauguration day.
It was wonderful when Barack Obama won on election day.
It will be one giant leap for black people when he becomes President of the USA.
