LOL...I'm not sure what it means "He things he's better"...you anyone else...but to me... I say Yes I am better.

Someone said in a few posts back "Parris thinks he's better"....I agree. I am better.



Black folk, intent on showing
black folk,
How to keep me on that black level,
Tell me how less I am
How much I have less
Intent on showing me that I am not
That I have not struggled
That I have to proven my blackness
As if being black means not having
Is that the black experience?
maybe you need to rethink what do you think black is
Intend on letting me know that there is better
but better I can't see
better I can't hear
If I live and die now
die and live
How would one ever compare to this
They will never see the eyes of my child
Hear those words, Dad
Daddy can I
Daddy
I love you
Daddy, you are beautiful
They could never best me, in my life
This life
never touch the skin of a woman with my hands
My fingers
Never love her with my soul my heart
Feel the whisper on my ears
My wife's voice, calling to me
Best me, how could you?
In your life,
I hope you are King
That you are on top of your reality
but in mine
all I can see is this man,
this warrior
all I can see are these hands
a man's hands
The enternal one
He gave me
My gift, My life, Mine
Pay attention
so a repeat will not have to be made
Pay attention, that your words
and desires don't show me how small I am
but show you how big I am to become
never focusing on what you have
but what has been givine me
But was fought for me
by those before me
which makes me better

Your.....better
