CHIEF MANASHAH POETRY
(All poems written by Chief Manashah)
-More than lukewarm-
Let me be a blessing to them
Let me be a blessing not a curse
Not a fool
Not a burden, not a snare
Not a shame, not in fear,
In love
Let me me be a blessing to them
A protection
A wise fountain
A spring
More than lukewarm
A humble glory
Let it be known that thee
Almighty Father, Most High, Most Holy
Blessed me to be a blessing to them
-Rise with no yeast-
All me curses turn to blessings
All me failures turn to lessons
All my scars turn to armor
All my pain turn to strength
All my bitches turn to wives
Baking bread with no yeast inside
Still we rise against the tides
Part the seas, calm the breeze
By the power of the Most High
-Truth Be Told-
I’m a vast sea
Uncertain of the shore
Beauty unseen by mortals
Uncut gold
Adrift in time
I’m wine to the soul
And the sands
Who conquers my quench
Forever more
