To be 33, conscious and black

envision these images and colors expressed on this page.

Relax. Let go. Breathe and Be.

As a kid i wanted to travel to blackness, where the stars twinkled, space, astronaut

I knew that “boys wear blue” and “girls wear pink” was a way to control human minds

I knew that the color waves from the tv controlled human minds, programming, ultimately stealing souls

I knew that whiteness was in control of everything, supremacy

But Stevie wonder taught me to see beyond my eyes,

that awakening my third eye chakra indigo would lead to deep change, Higher Ground

I would reach the stars, the light

But the light isn’t white, supremacy

it’s rainbow, the universe, love

Do you think the universe made only two kinds of people, pink and blue?

If so, you have trapped Higher Self, the universe.

There are so many more species, planets, and galaxies beyond the human eyes, white.

Think about it: the universe, vast, rainbow, music, love, your existence

If that doesn’t show that the universe is expansive and magical then you are not using your brain, intelligence

As a kid i knew i would travel to a yellow city, California

California would help me see all the colors and various humans that the universe put in my mind, genius

I would awaken human minds, green, astral

To the Age of Aquarius,

Occurred this year March 20th,

The age of liberation is here.

Two days later my grandmom vernita green

is dead, heart attack, COVID vaccine.

333, ascension, grandmom nita’s spirit, clear

Black magic has risen

People are able to exist freely, be

Cults don’t exist, cease

Love conquers all

And we’re moving to Oneness, peace.

My uniqueness, I reveal truth, i awaken.

third eye indigo chakra, innvervisions, rainbow, Octavia butler, stars.

Now awaken.

everyone and everything is free to be and live in harmony.

See to it, so be it, and so it is.

Ashe’

I have lost my grandmom vernita green to white supremacy, selfishness, capitalism, loneliness, stay at home order, genocide, violence, COVID vaccine...

To be 33, conscious, and black...

What a nightmare.

White supremacy has stolen another black soul, my grandmom, my lifeline, part of me.
