There's A Breaking
Tribute to Justice
The chains have been loosen
And the shackle has been open
After so much violence over turn by peace
And the mountain has been made a valley, where the stream of justice flow and we can come demanding
And entreating. Our souls has been lifted and downtrodden no more
We learned we can. We learned we shall. We have learned the how, the why and declared our when as equal brothers and equal sisters walking hand in hand and side by side to every mountain beware for there's a breaking. And that breaking had been heard, all around the world. That breaking of racism, that breaking of hatred, and that breaking of hurt. Breaking like a mother's womb of life, liberty and pure joy.

The Magnificent Tree
It was a time like no other, where food was scarce for every creature in Africa. Everyone questioned everyone, and creature alike distrust creature. There was a magnificent tree in the land that stood the test of time, home of the birds and bees. They both threaten each other and quarrel grew mostly in Springtime. The birds did not wanna share with the bees and dislike their ways. The bees felt the birds were controlling and someday may feast on them.The tree flourished and their quarrel became impossible. One day the bees dance around the tree's nectars and they declare the tree theirs. The birds caught off by surprise, tried to suppress them. Every morning the birds would sing to disturb the bees' humming. The birds and the bees both covered every flower they could marking them as territory. In unison to themselves both of them said, The tree is too big and great and magnificent.We have to feed our families. Life is too short to fear and what is an enemy, we aren't afraid we will endure them. And as it went on so long that some birds tried to make peace as well as some bees, these creatures band together creating a secret bond. And they rule together restoring order.
