Recollections


Avosado flow
Matarilerilelo pacing
Reminiscent of my childhood haven
Cloaking chicken and cows mooing
Running around marble shooting
Lizard hunting, tree climbing
Monkey method before watching Jackie
Folk tales told by abuelo 'Neto
Where stories of a lantern carrying diablo
evoked the "ahhhs" of our shock
Sounds of galeria wisdom taught
Eyes stilled in their sparkled jewelz
Elevating the best part
Cementing the seeds to defeat blind, deaf and dumb conditioning
Mango meat ready for teeth peeling
It's sugary nectar lycopening....ME
Animal cloud watching while laying on grass hopping
Recollections embedded within the anahata
Void yet filled
A vague flash of lightning it seemed to be
Transplanted was my reality
To these icy streets
Where beauty is hidden in gated communities of poverty
Uniformed cemented structures stand erected
Amassed occurrences hidden
Missing pieces to shed light on our psycho-social disabilities
And found in the youth's tough urban garments
Where how you look is above all
Ghettofabulous? Notttt
Self styled wisdom with Love and Loyalty
Coding men and women on every squared cracked pavement
The Heights I grew up in
Jodedor capital not to be fucked with
90s hazed kid
Pondering and searching for a deeper meaning
My Blackness stripped from my being
Due to colorism's  categorizing schemes
Separating black, brown and yellow seeds
Now I was truly free because my pale ass was indeed an ORIGINAL BLACK SEED!
