    AWAKENING (Dee be You)

    .AND THE WORD WAS
    And was the WORD..and was the WORD of the SON
    That came 2 me saying...

    I have sent thee
    Sisters and Brothers
    Lest your boasts be in vain
    Your righteous zeal provokes many
    Yet many remain

    So, no more acting
    From stressed
    And depressed
    You shall abstain
    Pressure
    Is
    Poison
    When at the
    Precipice
    Of
    Pain

    Come forward
    My doubting son
    And touch my bloodstains
    And remember
    Beatific is the Homily
    When beauty inspires the brain

    Shortcuts
    Not ever
    No more half steppin
    Your words
    Can be a soul's purge
    Never use them as weapons

    Be not superflous
    When ministering 2 All Saints
    This talent I bestow upon you
    Never shall you taint

    For,
    When all is done
    And the day through
    This I say is true
    Dee my son
    ALWAYS BE YOU

    Every man is according
    2 the purpose of his heart
    Bear witness 2 the power of prose
    2 be the light
    You must first provide a spark

    Teaching
    Never
    Preaching
    Yet
    Reaching
    4
    Righteousness
    Seeking
    Never
    Satisfied
    Black man
    Black sand
    Black man stand
    4 Black Pride


    Beseech
    The Poetic Collective
    As you meet
    Allow your words 2 be
    Alms 4 the Afflicted
    And heart abundance 4 the weak

    Speak
    Seek
    All through me in Truth
    Be not ashamed
    Nor uncooth
    4 your talent is thy blessing
    These words thy proof


    Be of willing mind
    And accept all blessings received
    Perform
    Passionatly
    In the doing
    And all ye seek
    Shall be achieved

    Be bold
    Yet controlled
    Dare 2 be reborn
    And sins
    Of
    Commission
    Will fall like sheep's wool shorn

    For,
    When all is done
    And the day is through
    This I say is true
    Dee my son
    ALWAYS BE YOU

    Therefore
    If you must be
    Be of creation
    Let old things pass away
    BEHOLD
    Your regeneration
    No supplication
    No insinuation
    No hesitation
    No eternal damnation
    For
    The African Nation

    Reconcile with your past
    Form righteous
    Reconcilliations
    Join with true Sisters and Brothers
    Strive collectively
    4 spiritual salvation

    Command
    Yet
    Be not commanding
    Demand
    Yet
    Be not demanding
    Of women
    Be understanding
    4 your daughter
    Provide
    Safe landings

    Commune with the light
    When darkness
    Invades your diction
    Bless the
    ANKH
    Of my triumph
    The CRUX ANSATA
    Of my foretold crucifiction

    Receive all
    Who are wronged
    Defraud no man
    Kiss thy mother and father
    4 their DNA is your strand
    Walk the path of the Warrior
    Darwin
    Black sand
    Black man
    Brother STAND
    ABOVE THE CROWD
    Remain humble
    Yet PROUD
    Shout it LOUD
    I am from I AM
    The Motherland
    AFRICAN

    For
    When all is done
    And the day is through
    This I say is true
    Dee my son
    ALWAYS BE YOU!!


    Peace and Love Family

    "...yet who's to say if all were uncovered
    You would like what you see
    You can only be you
    And I can only be me"

    Stevie Wonder- I Can Only Be Me
