all that really matters.

if you believe you have no choice in matters that define acceptability –

you are wrong.

if you believe there is no reason to pursue change –

you are wrong.

if you believe it is the way it is –

reason notwithstanding –

you are most definitely –

wrong!

 

in a world that offers opportunity –

without penalty –

for coloring outside the lines,

how can you be content with palettes of defined similarity?

 

there is a book i read –

from time to time.

contained within the covers,

words that recreate my perception of who i am.

 

it seems i’ve wasted too much time imagining the who i’ve been instructed to become.

just another face lost in a congregation of desegregation.

and even with marked variance in religion and faith,

coerced into becoming accomplice to sin of indecision…

 

and there,

written with purpose from the author of my creation,

definition of my intent.

the words speak not to dreams nor concepts of suppose,

they humbly offer promise of accommodation.

no criteria of unrealistic expectation.

free allowance of unearned salvation.

unconditionally guaranteed.

if  you believe.
