Let’s let a drop of ink take us to a glorious world.
#1 I DREAM A WORLD
I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn
Where love will bless the earth
And peace it’s paths adorn
I dream a world where all
Will know sweet freedom’s way
Where greed no longer saps the soul
Nor avarice blights our day
A world i dream where Black or white
Whotever race you be
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every man is free
Where wretchedness will hang it’s head
And joy like a pearl
Attends the needs of all mankind
Of such i dream my world
–LANGSTON HUGHES
# THE DANCE2
I will not have you
Without the darkness
That hides within you
I will not let you have me
Without the madness
That makes me
If our demons
Cannot dance
Neither can we
– NIKITA GILL
#3 WOMAN
My opinion
I have many
They are my veil of beauty
Don’t you know
My scars
They decorate me shoulder to toe
Like a marvelous gown
I’m not afraid to let them show
My pride
Adorns me
Like fine jewels
I know my Worth
My strength
It protects me
Like a shoe handcrafted with care
I can go anywhere
Call me queen like it’s my name
I won’t forget to take my claim
I don’t care what they say
Being a woman can look this way
-unknown poet
Hope y’all enjoyed it./ Take care/

I loved those drops of ink. My drop of ink usually mean I have to turn another shirt into a rag.
