My heart goes out
To all you people
left in the dark
How can I align you
to the truth
how can i protect you
My heart has not
settled on defeat
I am here
Real and reality true
I am here
Loving and Love Aligned
I am here
courageous
and constantly free
I am here
My heart aligns
with yours

Dear esteemed Maya Angelou,
Have the lost world always been lost
I so don’t rest at night
Knowing that racism is our universal effort
Must we hate so densely?
Are real lives real
Or am I going
Half crazy
Are too many people
So abiding to mastery of hate?
All mighty Angelou
My heart is
Dense with sorrow
So sparingly hamlet
Sang a song
My so beloved Angelou,
Love,
Lina
Hallucinations
All is not the trust you thought it was
I am true to my universe
Have reason not forsaken me?
Have madness had its way with me?
All is true, so true to the mad woman
Have I become her or her me?
I am not the one I was.
I am the one I became.
I am me. me. me.
Have no fear
Have no anger
Have no reality enslavement
Have no regret
Holler out your maestro majestic zest for Life
Everything is as it should
My heart is galavanting in love
I attire
I applaud
I almighty me
