a thousand times yes

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

No means a thousand times yes.

I’ll no longer partake in this Cold War

Division, inequity and neo imperialism.

Instead of flipping the table

I pushed my chair back.

Stood on my own two

Self determination and sovereignty.

Wiped the breadcrumbs left for me

off my lap1

Took a step back and examined the scraps

Mandated reparations for my progeny

The superpowers of yesterday are derelict

Decided to walk away and towards my destiny

Built a community that has watched my seeds

Grow, thrive and flourish

My love knows no distance

And as God is my witness

Karma comes with my forgiveness.
