And Still I Love You
I don't have everything as a matter of fact I don't have anything except dream of a better day and you 2 help me find my way Being a man I am sure 2 make mistakes but 2 keep u I would do all it takes and if it meant my love was really true I'd gladly die and watch over u I wish u knew how much I cared u'd see my love is true by the life we'd share Even if u changed your mind and said our love was thru I'd want 2 die continuously cry and still I'd love u

And Tomorrow
Today is filled with anger, fueled with hidden hate. Scared of being outkast, afraid of common fate. Today is built on tragedies which no one wants to face. Nightmares to humanity and morally disgraced. Tonight is filled with rage, violence in the air. Children bred with ruthlessness cause no one at home cares. Tonight I lay my head down but the pressure never stops, knawing at my sanity, content when I'm dropped. But tomorrow I see a change, a chance to build anew, built on Spirit, intent of heart, and ideas based on truth. Tomorrow I wake with second wind and strong ideas of pride. I know I fought with all my heart to keep the dream alive.

The day I met u I saw strength and I knew from that point on that u were pure woman 2 me possessing a spirit that was strong
I want smiles 2 replace the sorrow that u have encountered in the past and since it was strength that attracted me 2 u it will take strength 2 make it last
My negative side will attempt 2 change u but please fight that with your all it will be your strength that keep us both standing while others around us fall

Can You See The Pride In The Panter
Can u c the pride in the pantha as he glows in splendor and grace Topping OBSTACLES placed in the way of the progression of his race
Can u c the pride in the Pantha as she nurtures her young all alone The seed must grow regardless of the fact that it?s planted in stone
Can't u c the pride in the panthas as they unify as one The flower blooms with brilliance and outshines the rays of the sun

Fallen Star
They could never understand what u set out 2 do instead they chose 2 ridicule u
when u got weak they loved the sight of your dimming and flickering starlight
How could they understand what was so intricate 2 be loved by so many, so intimate
they wanted 2 c your lifeless corpse this way u could not alter the course of ignorance that they have set 2 make my people forget what they have done for much 2 long 2 just forget and carry on
I had loved u forever because of who u r and now I mourn our fallen star

Family Tree
Because we all spring from different trees we are not created equally
Is the true beauty in the tree or in the vast forest in which it breathes the tree must fight 2 breed among the evils of the weeds
I find greatness in the tress that grows against all odds it blossoms in darkness and gives birth 2 promising pods.
I was the tree who grew from weeds and wasn't meant 2 be ashamed I'm not in fact I am proud of my thriving family tree

For Mrs. Hawkins
This poem is addressed 2 Mrs. Hawkins who lost her son 2 racist society I?m not out 2 offend the positive souls only the racist dogs who lied 2 me An American culture plagued with nights like the night Yusef was killed if it were reversed it would be the work of a savage but this white killer was just strong-willed with the blood of Malcom in my veins America will never rest if Yusef dies in vain!
