The Spirit Within Speaks Through Us

                          By Afrika M.A. Abney

when we walk in the morning

with our head forward conscious of our journey

walking like Queens and Kings

standing strong and beautiful

listening to the sounds around us

beautiful and spiritual

peaceful

healing loved ones

with inspirational words

never walking in the shadows

only remaining conscious of our destiny

as we strive for total independence

fighting for our rights

while maintaining our dignity and faith

keeping focused on our

mission in life

listening to the spirits within

guide us on our path of success

walking high and standing strong while we listen to the

spirits that speak through us

we become conscious of our destiny and vision in life
