Are you willing to be persistent and give

             this life of endless abundance a try?


             Didn’t they fill our bellies

             face in books not telis

             didn’t they wrap our bodies

             with love, looks, and language sweeter

             than jam and jelly
             didn’t they feed our souls enough


             My ancestors I cannot disappointment

             for when I was young I made a special

             specific point

             to rise


             Rise high enough to bring others with me

             teaching one another together I told ‘em
             swiftly come with me

             our joy being the warm wrapping of sun

             bathed bliss

             like temporary insanity as consistent days

             of abundance we kiss
