Young Man

Young man

Toil not in the winds of those

Whose direction is as clueless their destination 

Plant yourself in heritage 

Allow your soul to expand 

To depths that only your ancestors have journeyed 

Mighty you are

Exuding a confidence

That intimidates the wicked 

With an divine conviction

Young man

In your care the future surrenders 

Protect the resting memories

With conduct that vibrates through your existence 

Upon the soil of the earth

And all space between 

Reaffirm yourself 

Reclaim your identity 

Your are more than your indoctrination

Unlearn the scolding 

Reimaging your truth

You've stood even as youve been beaten

You are the reason the mountains crumbles

The winds have held the waters captive

Looking for you

You are beyond relevant 

Young man

You are the purpose 

Young man...

For all that is truly amazing

The task before you is daunting

Upon your shoulders 

Sits the antidotes...

As well as the frustrations 

Of the future 

I trust you will conquer your pride

Understand your fears

Allow the failures to be your milestones 

As you equip your mentality 

With every lesson learned 

Stand tall my young prince

Be gentle so that the butterfly will land

Give the world no choice

Be firm

As the dust rises with each step you've taken

Forget not from which you've come

Yet be forever clear of where you're going
