Who are you?
Are you among the
Doctor Kings or Medgar Evers
Of the world
Do you daydream inventions, or
Invent fantasies of better things
As morning’s breeze
Sway you “to” and “fro”
Do you know (who you are)
Do you know the RICHness
Of your family (heritage) tree
Deeply rooted in this American history
Do you feel the pride
Of your fore-parent’s ride
Along success lane
Where hard work and determination
Ordained them successful citizens
Of these here United States
(of liberty)
Do you know who you are
Are you a problem child, or
(Problem solver)
Do you harbor
Deep-seated fantasies of
Logarithmic functions
Where the conjunction “AND”
Means the multiplication of
Algebraic equations
With derivations
That leads to the summation
Of you
(IS THAT TRUE)
Do you know who you are?
Are you a (wordsmith)
Who air-brush ageless pages
With flaring penmanship
That lifts the spirits of those who wish
An horizon’s kiss
…A sunset so beautiful it touches the soul
~ Of even the most casual observer ~
Do you know (who you are)?
Do you see in me
A future no one else can see
Would you be there for me
When the chips are down
And the sound of death
Knocks on my door
Can we stand as one
Against the raging storm
As well as…the calming sea
Do you know who you are?
