Here I Stand

Knowledge Inspires New Greatness

Here I stand
Another black man
Trying to gain knowledge through wisdom
And patience to understand

Learning more about our history,
Realizing slavery is current; mentally.
Knowing that the stories read;
Or ones in my head; Are not meant for me.

Here I stand,
Black man;
Poetry deep inside
And doctors can't see stanzas in my cat scan

Anxiety can bring misery
Even can drain you physically
But that same energy;
We can reverse to lift us spiritually

Here I stand
Introvert until my mind expand
Soon; God formulates another plan
Then bless me to express wealth before grands

Money don't make you rich
Cause morally it's the total opposite
With a God fearing man willing to never quit..
And a vow to maintain a specific plan that's legit

Money don't make you rich
And attention just get you mentioned
So it's a different feeling for young Kings & Queens
With dreams and royal visions

Here I stand,
Next to my wife whose my best friend
And I Thank her for saying..
"you can"..

"I got you"..
"Bad dreams; not true"
"Bad man; not you."
& "I wanna see you make it to the top too."

Here I stand
Equipped with a plan
To help benefit my family,
Believers in Christ, my real friends

For souls rich long before earthly brands
For Smiles after friendships ends
& For everybody who ever tried again
Again and again
