The Miseducation....

The revolution will be seen
When will my freedom ring?
Maybe Kendrick Lamar is the brain Tupac knew he would spark
That could change everything
My aspirations are materializing
I desire the finest of things
Disappointing that people think those are only designer things
Lately my mind has been stuck on things
The underground work on my soul that will go unseen
The underlying hope of my heart
Is that love does finally conquer greed
Hatred is spewed
People devour the devil’s food
But how can I preach peace when even I, myself, possess an attitude?
Because I am flawed
Every cut of me hasn't been properly polished
I love the imperfections
I pray to God that I’m always evolving
Would never want my lust for challenges to be forever demolished
By the damages of the trauma that plague my post partum
I manage it so I’m equally solaced
Product of the impoverished
Still no excuse for acceptance of mediocrity
I’m so curious to discover literally
Where, specifically, does your soul rest peacefully?
Or is it always tortured and tormented
What is your POV?
When will my freedom ring?
I’ve seen things my father will never see
So it’s just destiny that the revolution will also be seen
Maybe I am the brain that God knew could change everything
Maybe it’s you
Why can’t it be all of us?
Maybe, just maybe, the change is inside of trust!
Lately, just lately, we're only in love with lust
But it’s empty infinitely
And it’s drowning us
I don’t want to just stay afloat
I want to make it back to land
Make it back to a place that honors a man
A place where a woman can feel complete
A place not motivated to separate you and me!
Dr. King, this is my dream!
