Soul Speak III

Dear Loved One,

Self-preservation .

Create your

Boundaries ,

Don’t break’em .

Understand

The law of respect

Works two ways .

Self-respect

Shows character ;

It speaks volumes

To deaf ears .

I said something

… without moving my lips .

It takes action ,

So put into practice .

Self-preservation .

Unlearn

Bad habits

and behaviors ;

A different degree .

Embrace the change

That comes with

Overcoming

Affliction .

What’s growth

Without pain ?

Like what’s May

Without rainstorms ?

A tree

Is only

Dormant

In the winter .

And roots

sprout when they’re

Sprinkled with love .

Practicing

Gratitude

Is how to stay joyful .

Authentically

Giving thanks

To the Most High

For splitting

My hairs

To a new day .

I found me

A new way

To hold on

To Husain’s

Right shoe .

I’m not crazy .

I’m out of my mind .

Since escaping

The box .

Abnormal is

What normal isn’t .

A masterpiece

With peace

On my tongue .

I’m at Pisces

With the flow .

I tune

A different

Pattern

When I write

My notes .

School’s in session .

Self-preservation .

Keep your morals

And standards .

Don’t break’em .

Move humble .

Yet I walk

My fly

Perspective .

Overstanding

My worth .

I’d love me , too .

Marvelous

In more ways

Than one .

Spectacular .

I know

I’m quite

The spectacle .

And so are you .

God’s Child .

The sun beam

Compliments

Our complexion .

Simply stated .

He created us .

More than amazing .

With grace like a Dove .

Some

Cunning like

The tongue of

Anacondas

Cunnilingus .

I’ma spit it

Till they

Get it .

Self-preservation .

It’s more

Than making

A statement ;

It’s how we breathe .

It’s deep

Within us ,

A different breed .

Remised to say

A pedigree

That goes beyond

The atmospheric pressure .

Divinity

Is what I speak of .

Your words

Are powerful

Spread love

When you

Express

Your thoughts

And feelings .

Regardless

Of what’s

You’re feeling .

Even

Your crumby days

Can satisfy

Those with

Exquisite taste .

Serve up

The whole pie .

I know

They will

Enjoy

The entire

Plate .

And then some .

Holy Water

To wash it down ;

Vino .

Truly blessed .

We know .

Even when

Frustrated ,

I’m at my best .

Wringing out

Towelettes

Full of fears .

Collector of tears

Would never

Let me down .

Every word

I speak

Is confident ,

BLOOD .

Driving out

Doubt ,

BLOOD .

I’m here

To shake

The world up

BLOOD .

Thank You , Lord

For shedding Your

BLOOD .

So precious .

Self-preservation

Means nothing

When understanding

True dominion .

Fear of God

Is the beginning

Of all wisdom .

Bar-none .

I don’t have

A bottle

In hand

But I’m walking

With the Spirit .

So gifted .

I’ve gotta

Remind myself

To live

In the moment .

I don’t miss it .

Letting go of tradition

Is understanding

A blessing

Is given

To bless others .

So

I ask you ,

My beautiful people

What’s self-preservation ?

Sincerely,

A Concerned Brother
