I AM

Author: Lord TrenT MedJii

I AM the child of pyramids kissed by the Nile,

An heir to the wisdom that stretches infinite miles.

I AM the scribe of Ausar, the keeper of stars,

Charting paths through Orion, unshaken by scars.

I AM the seed of a sunlit golden throne,

Where Sudan’s sand whispered, “You are not alone.”

I AM the blood spilled on darkened shores,

The wail of chains that the ocean still stores.

I AM Nat Turner’s rage, Malcolm’s fierce glare,

Mothered by Miss Angelou—still I rise from despair.

I AM the blues, the gospel, the hip-hop beat,

The rhythm of ancestors in every street.

I AM the cipher, the verse, the rhyme,

Timeless in cadence, unbroken by time.

I AM Kemet’s geometry, the architect’s line,

The sacred spiral through space and time.

I AM the Sankofa bird, reclaiming my truth,

With cosmic memories of unbroken roots.

I AM the griot, the voice of the past,

Reminding the future our strength will last.

I AM the darkness of history’s stain,

But I AM the light that transcends the pain.

I AM the balance of wisdom and might,

The son of the cosmos, igniting the night.

I AM the broken, rebuilt, and renewed,

The eternal spirit the world misconstrued.
