Reign
Many gathered like paparazzi
Seeking claim to his existence,
He seemed to be destined like Jesus.
He reigned after great leaders
and juvenile kings in scriptures.
For single mothers
of fatherless children.
Like his great uncle.
An activist for righteous teachings
and political democracy.
He took nine months to a legacy
prophesied in the heart of God.
Dodged death under the breast
of a deficient mother.
Hindered by pride and anemia.
Many gathered like paparazzi.
Giving testimonies to his existence.
Like miracles was the mafia.
He seemed to be destined like poetry.
Reigning in memories
cause text books will never
publish the truth to his being.
The underground movement
will keep seeking his knowledge.
From exile revolutionaries in Cuba
to tribe leaders of villages in Africa .
From anti-government riots
to the Republicans roundtable discussions.
Cause the truth is always
a weapon of mass destruction.
And they sure don’t want another
1960’s civil rights intervention.
Or even another Gabriel slave uprising.
Or even religion in school systems.
So label him the ancestor of Sojourner.
Cause he will always be a descendant of the “Truth”.
Many drew near like this was Bethlehem .
Seeking the endurance he gained from his grandmother
and the creativity of his brother.
Through a placenta thick enough
to shelter him from the hypocrisy of life.
That later his family will protect him from.
They called him a king from conception
cause he reign’s.
Under the protection of angels.
Under the protection of men
that fell for their people.
Under the protection of the crucifixion.
Under the redemption for sins
that God has forgiven his mother for.
For his Uncle.
For his Great Grandmother.
For the others that’s sitting in heaven.
He reigns.
