I Stand
My voice my Demand
Standing for all
It seems, you wonder my words
I deserve to be heard
I am exercising my rights
Prepared for a fight
Your opposition like a violet storm
I am not alarmed, but will continue to push on
Dr. Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Congressmen John Roberts and many others who educated me
It’s knowledge that stood out
My reason for moving about
Beyond the shadows and into the marvelous light
Not frightened and shaken
I speak extensions
A presenter of persuasions
Words greater than anyone could imagine
Several letters at one time
Genuine
Truth is what I stand for
No hesitation
Representation
Marked because of my Race
Ran because of a Chase
Broken promises
Told numerous times, I nothing to offer
Prove you wrong
Destiny and Sincerity
My reality
Onward in forward
You say why do I live?
Privilege
Why do I stand?
Honor
All Grace and Mercy from God
Motivation keeps me inspired
Race barriers make me sick and tired
I will not stop and expire
I will pull through
Pursue
The battle in begun
Sustaining among
Never Ending fight
Through the Valley’s, Rivers and Mountains
Who I am
Proven with understanding
Remember my words
Ever After
