When I learn what love is
I'ma start lovin
When I learn what faith is
I'ma believe in sumthin
Lettin go of my doubt
Jus may find what God's about
When I learn to be humble
I'ma wait my turn
When I learn to work
My keep I will earn
For my paycheck
I will have no concern
But I shoulda BEEN doin this
C there was sumthin I'd missed
Forgot I was made with God's kiss
Of knowledge fully equipped with
More tools
Than most intelligent fools
So step by step I'ma follow his plan
Till I've removed the mark off my hand
For I have seen the promise land
And..it is everywhere I look
LOVED IT!!
When I hear this poem, it takes me through history. You pull me into listening a slave tell me how she's going to make it, better herself, and embrace her religion. You make me feel sympathy for her to be undeservingly mistreated because of lost opportunities. You make me smile at the end though when you have her set free to become the incredible woman, person is she and the world should see. Thanks.
