Crown me
Copyright 2020 by Kelly J. Newson

Crown me king
Crown me queen
For I am great like my ancestors
As I think now of dropping this English/Irish name inherited by my father’s family
The name they were forced to take on
Forced forgot their own
Maybe I will make my last name X, because for now, there is so much unknown
But still I am the legacy of my ancestors
I am their wildest dreams
I am the prayer they prayed for
The subject of their wildest dreams
With their intelligence running through me
I can feel their guidance daily
As I speak daily to the universe
They inspire me
They push me to be my best
As I read their great works,
listen to their speeches and other great masterpieces for inspiration and motivation
As I look to add my own contribution to this great culture of ours
I just want to make them proud
And make art that will inspire the next generation
As I rock my Kenta cloth daily
With my black tee, jeans and boots
No high fashion needed here
Just colors representing each country in the motherland
From Egypt down the Ivory Coast to South Africa
I’m reppin’ each country
For its the blood of Africa within me
I’m just looking for my direct connection,
My ancestors
The Queens and Kings of my culture, my people!
For I am their descendant
So crown me now
As I celebrate our rich culture
My blood line
And my beautiful black skin
