Who has two thumbs 
And neither of them are green?
This guy!
But there is a flowering plant
That evades even my lethal care

Be Present
Be Open
Be encouraging
Be positive
Be cautious

Finally
Something exists in the world
That doesn’t discriminate
That doesn’t see people
For Race
Or gender
Or age

It really sucks to grow up
Everyday I want to throw up
But everyday to work I show up
Because every other Friday
Is supposed to be my day

When I was eleven 
I rocked Cross Colours
A black leather African medallion 
And Jodeci boots
I shouted Fight the Power
And Don’t Believe the Hype

I was scared to death of you
But I never wanted you to go
I was nowhere near ready
Or expecting to be expecting you
But I never wanted you to go

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately
Trying to figure out
When exactly it was
That by body became 
Inappropriate
