For years it was only
her – him – him – & me
All the arguments
( smh, lol )
We STRONGLY…….disagreed
No matter what though.
You betta believe
It was always
JUST we
Decades we spent
learning knowledge from our tree
I grew to be.
Like her.
Indeed.
Yet….
With all SHE did
We could NEVER be prepared for
when her SOUL
was set FREE.
Then there was only us.
THREE.
A few years later
still hard to conceive.
THREE.
became just HE
and ME.
I had to remember.
What I mean is…
I had the CLARITY to SEE
That SHE is still with me /
and so is HE.
as well as SHE / and so is SHE
and so is SHE / and so is HE.
THAT’S when I realized
AGAIN / it was WE.
THAT’S how I feel
THAT’S how EYE SEE.
NO matter what I’ve been through
NO matter what I may come to believe
My ANCESTORS WALK WITH ME
AND BECAUSE OF THEM
I WILL ALWAYS BE FREE
