I am the Seed
I am the seed that my ancestors planted.
Resilient and grounded-
From the freedoms they founded
I am the seed that my ancestors planted.
Black and educated-
Though my demise was premeditated.
I am the seed that my ancestors planted .
Glowing and growing-
My drive never slowing.
For them I have everything to prove.
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
