The fire within burns with desire.
The fire within seeks revenge.
The fire within yearns for love.
The fire within loves to laugh.
The fire within needs a prayer.
The fire within never fades.
The fire within never diminishes in its life giving stre...
The cries, the pain, the sorrow How much longer? We shall wonder. Always looking over our shoulders, Never looking forward to tomorrow, Can't even live in today.
Is this the only way? We just have to hope and pray. Years have passed, Decades have come, Centuries have gone. We still sing the same song, Yet when shall we overcome.
The promised land is close they say. How much longer shall we wait? The time is here! The time is now! Who do we wait for?
Look within you! That power is useful. It can set the universe straight. It can make the great cooperate. Use it, dont lose it.
The blood, the tears, the sweat, Built on the backs of those who wept. This is probably their biggest regret. But why cry over spilled milk? What's done is done.
We must look forward to a better tomorrow. We must refuse to live with unyielding sorrow. No longer slaves in body, But fear still holds us captive.
Our mothers, Our fathers, Our brothers, Our sisters, How many more will we mourn? How many more hashtags do we need? How many protests, and call to action?
We are the action. We are the change. We are not our parents. Justice is our divine birthright, Who are we to stop it?
In the palm of our hands, we hold the truth of who we are. Don't hide it, Now is the time to let it flourish. Release it into the atmosphere, Let everyone know we are here. We have arrived. We will not be subdued.
But the question will always remain, If not now, then when? When our sons are here? When our daughters hold fear? Within their hearts? Within their minds?
No better time than the present. Let us live without regret. For a better today! For a brighter tomorrow! For the names we know. For the names we don't. Forever in our hearts, The fuel to our fire.
Say their names, Know their names. May we remember them, May we live for them. It does not end here for them. All hope is not lost. Battles will be lost But the war will be won.

Hey yall!
So with all that's going on, I know our hearts are heavy. I wrote this to just get it off my chest.
I didn't intend for this to be my first work in the book, but it felt right for me.
Take time to yourself and don't make social media your home. Find the positives, the silver lining, bridge those gaps. And most importantly stay safe!
Justice is coming! You have to believe it.
Leave some thoughts, and see you on the next one.💖
