Mirror Mirror
Mirror Mirror on the wall who is it that dwells so fearlessly in me?
Mirror Mirror on the wall whose strength is that I deeply see? Mirror Mirror on the wall could all that be a true reflection of me!?
And as I wait patiently for a response I see that my gaze changes and sinks deeper, I see the markings from deep within, memories of the old blood that runs through my veins dating back to Adam and his wife Eve, I see markings of total obedience and warrior moves as cousin David suits up to demolish Goliath with first the striking from his Slingshot. I see the markings of a Queen who readies herself for a month in order to spend just one night with her King all in an attempt to save her people.
I see Kunta rounding up the slaves to fight for freedom that was once there’s, I see Marcus Garvey, Nanny of the Maroons, I see Jane Greaves, Inez Ogilvie, Sheena Murray, I look in the mirror and yes I see Joslyn Murray and Cedric Murray looking back at me, and in this moment I am strengthened, in this moment I stand tall because of the blood that flows through me.
Mirror Mirror on my wall I get it now it’s not just the exterior that you wanted me to see, but the inner markings, the inner makings of a warrior Queen who has been called by the Divine to do a work that only I can do.
Mirror Mirror on the wall I get it now, I accept it now that I am chosen
