| Happy Birthday, Dr. Maya Angelou! |
To hold
destiny in the palm of my hands
To peep
thru Divinity's eyes and see tomorrow
As the
curtain unfolds to reveal the Promised Land.
To
perch on the edge of sorrow
To look
up and smile with the balls of a hero
To win
the battle before a slug is shot
To
seize the spoils of war
Without
drawing a single weapon
Because
I am the possible;
I am
the miraculous.
To stare
calamity in the face and have no fear
To
approach perplexity like I don't give a care
To look
pain in the eyeballs like you have no idea
To override
fate
To stonewall
the inevitable
And
right here in this place
To beam
my bat signal and bring the sun rays
To
dispel repression and give gusto to the rubble.
Because
I am the possible;
I am the
miraculous.
To erect
from shifting sand eternal palaces
To shoot
like a comet and witness the rebirth of galaxies
To
prosper in the pits of destruction
To
indulge all misery as life's instruction
To
deduct the lessons in a fool's paradise.
To
triumph despite the majority's cowardice.
To bow
down to no man's opinion
To rise still
as the champ of a million
Because
I am the possible;
I am the
miraculous.
Akpan
