"It's in Me"
The identifiable, the unidentifiable, and yes, that part that no one, sometimes even I, am able to pinpoint.
I have listened to the stories regarding my personality. "You acting just like Snow"(my father). Sometimes conveyed with an animus that has been harbored for FAR TOO LONG by family.
Sometimes conveyed with a sense of unfamiliarity. As if there is a part of me that has been left secretly cloaked within the inner recesses of my being since I entered this world. I know my last remaining maternal aunt continues to express to me that what I am now expressing through this platform is simply a re-creation of her dad, R.T. (the military changed his name to Artee to conform to governmental practices).
Whomever is conveying their beliefs regarding what they see pouring out through my personality and past and present actions are probably ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!
I am not seeking to run from either.
You see I am the result of all that has been poured into me over time and obviously the result of the genes that created me.
HOWEVER, there is also something that is within me of which no earthly man has control, and it is being manifested for such a time as this.
Don't allow your past experiences and encounters with me to close your eyes and ears to those things that emanate from me at this time. You see, I honestly feel that my true heritage is what is being evidenced NOW!! A heritage that is continuing to be established and manifested through an intense desire to allow HE to do what was intended through and for me...this BLACK MAN!!!
OUR SPIRIT LIVES!!
PEACE!!!
