I AM BLACK
The color of my skin
The roots of my hair
I AM BLACK
The roar of my voice
The power of my walk
I AM BLACK
The loose fit of my denim
The length of my shirt
I AM BLACK
The look in my eyes
The art on my body
I AM BLACK
The crimes I committed
The time I served
I AM BLACK
The way I think
The way I act
I AM BLACK
The jewelry I wear
The cars I drive
I AM BLACK
The down talk on me
The way I am judged
I AM BLACK
The times I was wrong
The times I was right
I AM BLACK
The mistakes I made
The path I chose
I AM BLACK
I was not a slave
But I know of slavery
I AM BLACK
The struggles I faced
The meals I missed
I AM BLACK
A high school drop out
And a street life mentality
I AM BLACK
I'm not a racist
But I am a survivor
I AM BLACK
I maybe ashamed of what I've done
But I am not ashamed of who I am
I AM BLACK
And I AM PROUD.
This is not to be racist.  I'm describing myself and who I am. I hope this doesn't offend anyone.
Mind full of wonder
                                  Heart full of yearning's for love
                                       Spirit full of brokenness
                                    And a soul ready to flyeth on
                                     Back wherein I belongeth.

A falcon
One broken wing;
Yet still flyeth..

When the inflated crunching sky turns into the black hole, one by one the expected stars slowly falling on the horizon, sudden deep dark clouds cover the silky face of moon, or the earth takes the full moon.

Long, long shadows darken the meadows, southern wind can’t open your closed window at all, standing along on the curve of a road, a sigh to fly in the wind, roaming heart finding a home.

See the mystic form of the known objects, distant standing old banyan tree suppose to feel a lonely friend of mine, a friend of rootless time, when silly, bogus thoughts engulfed me, want to break up but change does not cry out.

Melancholy beauty in the dark, floating with the imagine gulls in the sky, draw the red sun on the canvas of dark sky within the wings of dream, again see you are playing with the seven colors across my unfinished sky.

I'll hold you and find a way someday
kiss your indulgence by the plucked strings
of a blind moon.

Where did you put the nails?
The wall cries desolation for
some art pieces my heart can't
be sorry for.

What you along for? been looking hard
for the second part of heaven, we all.
This life closes with every second
you allow to run to gutter, to waste.
Brittle as glass
Strong as steel
Truth is powerful
So keep it real

The beach is dry
The sea appears green
The sun light blazing
On a sky so clean

We seek it and love it
Hold it so near
Like a bell ringing
Sweetly and clear

Sweetened and pure
The water overfloweth;
The truth separates
The liars and the voiceless

As tis we hath choices
To settle the scene;
Some seeketh reality
Others liveth in dreams

And between these things
We keep our head's topped;
Speaking honesty in mantra
Wherein one's ears shalt pop

And aloft the floss
Of the sky that is greyish blue;
We shalt travel by wingspan
Showing amour so true

In depths we dive
The sun we trust
Till we hit the
  rocks
And get shattered to dust

Holding our breath
The pressure gets worse
This mighty
  sea  *has never
Quenched anyone's thirst
This is just all the sections that I've seen for the collab put together. Feel free to add to it :)
