Hope,
The reason why the caged bird sings.
Silence equates submission and ultimately death,
so its tune is carried on at cost.
Like Spirit — we travel and pay for everything we carry on.
As our baggage becomes scars to the soul which manifest as personality traits most refuse to own.
But take note on The Hate U Give and have been given.
As this cycle will have its price embedded within our unborn children.

Hope.
The reason why the Fire Next Time, still burns deep inside.
Why Detroit Red can become Malcolm X.
And why change is something we hunt for in the couch cushions of our lives and only find it when the universe deems us ready.
The intrinsic belief that we can do more and be better.
It’s the air we breath and it’s what we see looking into a child's eyes.
Glimmers of star dust support these moments, building a foundation atop a simple belief.

Hope,
But this doesn’t mean stop digging as there are lessons embedded within the hunt.
Lessons learned from lint infested finger tips.
Character built from chipped nails and the only tech that can repair these…
