The thoughts in my head
I can recall it all
Numerous speeches
Rallies for a purpose
Pickett Signs
Microphone and
Chants to change injustices publicized by the perverted media
In a week and half
no one remembered the purpose of the hoodies
the petitions against purposeful death upon another
the beaten
the forgotten
Attention span of squirrels
the masses flock to the latest trends in everything
Clothing
Music
and even Injustices
I fear it
Knowledge will not be sought out
if it isn't on television or the radio
Our intelligence will be one-sided
guided
and formulated by the ones who wish to keep us
In Darkness
The thoughts the run through my mind are often sad and longing
Praying that for once my people would see beyond materialistic gain and come together
to Improve situation
and give birth to a Modern Renaissance
where we are our own
Intellectually
Artistically
Politically
Mentally
These thoughts begin to creep into the future as I wonder what will become of my children
Will they know and understand Individualism
Pride
Love
Knowledge beyond a television screen
and music without lyrics
the appreciation of the stories of their elders
making food from scratch
a hymnal
Love true love not written books but expressed through courtship and friendship then
marriage
Will they remember me
my teachings and concerns for them
or will I, when they are away from me, be the latest trend that they entertain for a spell
Will my love for my people and their success go unnoticed
Will my babies be part of the problem that I fight for daily
The thoughts in my mind plague me
sleep has no home here
hesitancy has no food here
I wonder
Does the man the God says is out there for me know that I exist
Is he wondering about me
Does he love his people the way I do
Will he fight for them
Will he help them
Will he pray for his people the way that I do
Will he provide for me
Spiritually
Mentally
Physically
Will I appease him
be Supportive enough
Kind
Strong enough
The thoughts in my head
plague me
I do not want to be the latest trend
forgotten history
worthless
