At the top of your game
and nobody can remember
your name
Spittin mad knowledge takin
illiterates to college
Just to be acknowledged?
Not me..."Like the eye on the
sparrow" I scribe when I am
happy I scribe when I am blue.
But, every time I scribe my friend.
It is not always meant for you.

Not well received in his village Jesus
walked the earth for 33 years ,now
everyone on the face of the Planet
knows who he be.
Not me...
I scribe because I am free!
Free to ***** and moan
Or rejoice at the foot of the throne.
Like the best of the best I don't stand
with the rest.
I choose to stand apart.
So if I don't get to your mental, then
perhaps I will move in your heart.

Not well received Josephine Baker had
to go to Paris to perform.
Cause no one here could appreciate her
art form.
They felt her presumptious, they felt her
of no class, because she did wear very
little and was known to shake her ***.
She was sass and jazz, a racial warrior
in her own right, she never gave up the
fight. Tho...she was...
Not well received

Not well received, and no one believed when
John the Baptist did proclaim that the savior
was coming but did not call his name.
When the signs were in place and the shine
was on his face, from the wilderness he came
to proclaim without fanfair or fame...
Not well received, but much he did achieve.

Not well received, some of my thoughts might
seem radical, some even fanatical... bordering
on the magical...Not well received!
So, I continue to labor "I scribe for myself"
I always remember , that if for no one else.
Be true to myself.
When
I
am
Not well received!
