the propagation of a lie so easily spoken
by white america. In blind ignorance

by our conquerors, hatred festers.
contained and stripped of our rights,
we remain warriors.

These hands have offered people help, comfort and safety. Many times they have reached down and pulled others to their feet when they lacked the strength to get up themselves. They have roamed the bodies of many lovers. I have used them to build houses and destroy families. They have lashed out and hurt everyone within reach. They are covered in scars and blood…
These feet have tread paths wondrous and unexplored, discovering places, experiences, and people that have altered my life. They have taken me down the red road of my ancestors. I have stepped in urban centers and wild lands.I have used them to stroll dangerous and risky paths. I have run toward destruction and walked away from many amazing opportunities…
