From that which you were beget

Sweet Home Chicago
The place on 🌎 where I got superpowers from.
Instituted in the 60622.

On Saturday AM

The water rippled and called out.

Son is that you?
I said yes.

Ah… come here, I have something to give you.

And we talked.

Don’t you forget
from that
which you was
beget
the land
on which
you stand
is where you got
the Go.

I nodded in acknowledgement of the fact.

Yes Mother of the Water
Lake Michigan,
shall we begin?

My people came
from far
and wide
on both sides
to lay down
roots
from the 1880s
and onward
we are glorious, industrious
empaths, teachers, musicians, nurses, doctors, scholar, griots, judges, readers and
a handful of writers or poets ,
so many renditions
of these gifts
that we are
given,
we’ve got to
give back
as the only ones
who can save us?
Is us.
I was told clearly
run, tell this and persist
A lot of love
in your family
that could
teach a wicked world
something.
