From the Soul

From the Soul

A Poem by Rufus "Mr Blaque" Lacy, Jr
"

I was feeling very inspired by how people can help and uplift others.

"

I Manifest By: Nathen Jalani Taylor

As I extend my hands toward the heavens
I call upon the core that guides our spirits
Helping us ignore the shadows of the fallen legacy
Paving the way for a new generation of Gods of men
Pushing away the prophecies of a stolen culture
Retooling the mind of a powerful presence
Understanding the past, transforming the present
Rewriting a known future for lost souls
Supplying the recreated mind with passion of life
Striking the humanity’s inner energy
Defibrillating the cycle of worthiness
Crying to the super natural for a teacher
A presence that will open hearts of the misplaced
And engulf all the hatred from ignorance

Lengthening a hand to the emptiness of an singular
Crafting ideas of inseparability within this colony of organism
Migrating across the universe of reality
Manifesting a new conclusion of interactions
Educating the mentality as an entirety
Looking into each other for that reassurance of existence
Given our essence away freely
Helping all understand the urgency
That we can change the appearance of us
Discovering a fresh likeness of optimism
Loving each blemish only to correct the identity
Respecting the lurking doubt of our awareness
Pushing across lines for perfection
Molding a new mortality of rejoice

I am amazed by the depth of this piece.
There is so much that has been said that need
to understand deeply to unveil the intended message.
As a whole I read it as the responsibility and more as
the purpose of a poet/writer!
It does speak my soul as poet!

First off- I love the title. I like to think of things, words, thoughts or actions as coming from the soul.

In the first stanza I like the use of the word "core" and how you are calling upon it. It puts to mind something very solid and sure, core, at the center is something that is very strong.

The fourth line stands out as a little bit awkward to me. Just one of those ones where you might want to look at it again and think about the phrasing.

"Rewriting a known future for lost souls"- really lovely!

"Striking the humanity’s inter energy"- should it be "inter" or did you mean "inner"?

this line confuses me a little in the context of this poem:
"Given our essence away freely"

This is a really strong, saying something poem! Great job
