Self Center Ness

​Self Center Ness
 
We are hurt because
         you did not
 
We are angry because
         you did
 
We are righteous because
         you
 
We are poor because
         you
 
We have no voice because
         you
 
We are weak because
         you


You hold the power over
our joy
         our sorrow
         our success
         our spirituality
         our ability to be.
 
Our self centernesss gives you this power.
 
Bigger Thomas when threatened 
by the man reached deep within to
pull out
 
         “You can’t do nothing except kill me
         and that ain’t nothing.”
 
What if?
 
What if?
 
What if we reached deep within to claim that
Bigger that resides in all of us?
 
What if we took back the power to be
         us?
 
What if we did this with love?
