Title: Possessed By My Anscestors Post by: Ifayomi on February 07, 2006, 09:04:30 PM Possessed By My Anscestors
Glocks in my hand, they ready to spit I aint talkin about foolishness or media hype shit I'm talkin about our Anscestors who came from across the sea The ones rich in color who look like you and me The owned the knowledge about the past and how to build They shared it freely why did they have to be killed Listen to what they are saying they are showing you the truth If you open your hearts and ears your mind will be free it will be set loose Our Anscestors are grieving at all the mess we've learned They know what happened to us they know we've been burned Don't turn away from them come and sit at their feet They will lead us in the path we will no longer be asleep They paid with their blood their suffering for us Can't you hear them pleading crying listen to us If you turn away there is nothing I can do But know the oyinbo are going to pay they will suffer and burn too You can cast your lot with yurugu But know when they suffer you will suffer too Listen to the elders the wise men of old They won't lead you astray they'll bring you out of the cold I'm no good at ryhming but I know the Anscestors spake They watch over us because of love's sake Peace Ifayomi I am an enigma Title: Re: Possessed By My Anscestors Post by: natural blacks on February 08, 2006, 05:02:45 PM why can't a topic jus be POEMS, and all poems go in there, rather than a new topic for each poem...it'd be easier to keep track. don't u think so?

The wind is blowing dust As our anscestors' spirits dive On the inside part of us... Like our blowing dust, Each breath we take... Shall free us! Ifayomi, keep writing. I like your style. Your piece here inspired the one above. We are 2 travelers-1mission. [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] Fania Simon/Yesayah!
