Me Stew
10 parts Leo and 5 parts July
8 parts insanity and 4 parts fire
3 parts unity and 6 parts hue
A huge pinch of brown with a little bit of blues
3 hints of shy and 20 stalks of black
7 sprinkles of a little this, 6 of a little that
5 curds of attitude, 3 sections of uplift
10 drops of triumph, 1 brain-full of resist
Oration of Martin, bluntness of X
Defiance of Frederick with Medgar Evers’ text
206 bones, lots of nerves and sinew
1 beating heart, a combination of all of you
1 slice of humble pie, 13 scoops of struggle
Infinite pieces of cogitation, 1 veil to juggle
1000 cups of love, one black mom’s prayers and plea
This is what it took to make a stew out of me
