Women’s Rights

Why did they have to silence

What is a man’s strength

The one behind the man

Is who men are searching

It means she’s the smarts

His embodiment of strength

She’s his head

He’s what she thinks

His power is her love

Her war is his fight

Why couldn’t I vote

Who said I didn’t have the right

I am who watched

What he created

Don’t you think I had a thought

In his creation

Smiling in his glory

Or was it a she

Could be opposite

Who cares not me

All that matters

Is us as unity

I wasn’t separated

Just we are a well oiled machine….

[hathorwritings]

Slave Mentality

He awakes my being

I can’t eat or drink

Until I well

I’m his slave

I’m his grace

I’m his patience

Im the partner

When all turn cold

I’m the trust

The being that will risk all

For his words

His creeds

His fight

All is his

So why conceit

To what isn’t

Dark is his will

Just call me that

I am his

I have his

Slave mentality

For his is my side

Til I ….

Mrs. Crawley

Even when I’m in the upper echelons

I still wear my humble crown

It’s not something I claim

When I give to charity

It’s what I am

To show I appreciate where I was placed

I get my hands dirty

I say what is right

Even when what I was taught

Says that can’t be

I’m in the outside of society

Cause I am a genuine being

Whether rich or poor

I stand firm on the humble door…

[hathorwritings]

Invisible Man

You may not see me

But I see you clear

You had to erase me

Then teach as if you’ve been here

My blood claims my history

I tell it in spirit

I know it’s something

You can’t stand to hear it

I’ve been the philosopher

And healer for times

You just try to interpret

My ancestral rhymes

My blues are your joys

But it’s what truly speaks

To the special ones

Who really hear me

You’ll find those buffoons

Who will tap dance and sing

But the ones like me

Will sing but do it with a wink

Our pride and strength

You never see that message

Your ego is what keeps you guessing

Profiting is all you glow in

But try to teach all we are is sin

But up yourself in pride

And claim what I am

While I sit back and let you claim it yes mame

Through your deception

You’ll raise up my truth

The strong patiently waiting

For you to reveal you

I’ll show and tell you in all that I am

But you’ll never listen

Cause to you I’m just an Invisible Man…

[hathorwritings]

THE UNNAMED

The question in the back of everyone’s mind

Her name is chanted

The missing link

Why there is wine

And roses

She speaks they whisper

She is surrounded

Even without knowledge of self

They know who she is

The gift and the curse

Here for the one who created her

Who’s will is in her pictures

We all miss her

They bow

Wildlife bow

It’s there Queen

Mother Earth

We crave her reign….

[hathorwritings]

BORN OUTSIDE THE MATRIX

I was born observing

Not living

Enjoying but with educating eyes

Is this life

Is this paradise

Why the hate

Why the turmoil

Why the opulence in what destroys

Not blossoms

I was born observing

Looking for love

Found ego in what houses us

But not in what brings us joy

I was born observing

Happy is what I can see how to give

But shut down

Cause I didn’t have an ego

Or needed materialisms

So I was a joke

I was born observing

Now I know why the flood happened…..

[hathorwritings]

Kaleidoscope

Love is like a kaleidoscope

Singing all these pretty notes

Do you see the whole forest

Or just the trees

(All those beautiful leaves)

Love is like a kaleidoscope

Singing all these pretty notes

Wondering will I ever be set free

So I can be released

To live on love and all that it brings

Love is all we need

Set free, set free

Love is all we need…

[hathorwritings]

Mother Earth

The earth is dying

It wants to throw hands!

The earth is dying

Rejecting the leaders of this land

The earth is dying

Crying for me and you

To put out first what we are supposed to do

The earth is dying

I hear the animals roar

The earth is dying

Rain and winds breaking down doors

The earth is dying

Crying for me and you

To put in place righteous leaders too

The earth is dying

See all my awards

The earth is dying

I’m number one on the board

The earth is dying

If we don’t get it

The next generation won’t have a planet

The earth is dying

I’m number one on TikTok

The earth is dying

See the PR that I got

The earth is dying

It’s called climate change

They won’t pay attention if we give it a name

The earth is dying

Mother Earth is her name

The earth is dying

We should hold our heads in shame

The earth is dying

She won’t kill her kids

But she won’t sustain how we’re choosing to live.

The earth is dying

Time to put this in thought

The earth is dying

Time to treat her like a wife

The earth is dying

Rebuild on where there is no life?

The earth is dying

If that’s the logic we banking on

Mother Earth will prove you are wrong

The earth is dying

Better do what is right

The earth is dying

We will loose this fight

The earth is dying

Better start getting it

Animals have always lived on this planet

The earth is dying

Time to give back what we take

The earth is dying

Soon the earth will shake

The earth is dying

Sink everything we do

And what we’ve built to save us will be gone too….

Healed Child

There’s a big grown child

That wants to be healed

Has a broken heart

But a whole lot of will

Still dreams in color

Though the world is black and white

Still has her strength

But is weary in sight

Just wants love

In its purest form

Draped all around

Though she is torn

Doesn’t love the negative of the world

Lives in positive light

Hate that she subcome

To what wasn’t in her sight

Just loving her life

To the beat of her own song

No longer worried about

Dark things that come along

All she has to do

Is love living in the free

So she can be healed

For all the world to see….

How Great Must We Be?

How great must we be

That they must hold us back

Instead of looking at it the worst way

Let’s think about that

Systems in place

In case we take a stand

Why don’t we do it

Stand black man stand

Whole nation built of our attributes

The number 1 economy

Before capitalism came through

Had to mentally destroy

Our United thoughts

Walk street came after

Black Wall Street got bombed

In fact if we did

What they told us we don’t do

We’d be able to provide

And govern ourselves too

Build defenses off what they call gangs

Abolish all of our slave last names

In fact if we realized the why behind their cause

Think of how it would be

Having our own laws

Teach our own historical truths

Give some pride back to our youths

Engage in unity

Helping your fellow man

All of these things

They tell us not to see

Why not ask the question

How great must we be?

Rise

It’s hard when you’re crying for the world,

But being told to hold back your tears.

Isn’t she dying?

Even sadder, didn’t she die?

Well why aren’t we all crying?

Not an innocent in its destruction.

That’s wise.

Intentions don’t excuse the bruises.

Let’s all have a sob,

For our greed is why she bleeds,

For our pride, for our righteous,

The sinner, the guilty

And innocent,

Animal and man.

Most for your insensitivity.

It’s her time to mourn,

Silence for Mother Earth.

Your abuse must end.

You’ve dug into her soil,

Make your clothes,

Drape yourself with jewels,

And laugh at the being who gave it to you.

Cry for Mother Earth.

Frivolously live off her resources,

While you fight wars on her back,

And stake claim on her beauty,

Pillage her cities and towns,

And murder her wildlife and children.

Kneel to Mother Earth.

Before she restores what you’ve broken.

Before she sees what you fought for.

Before she can hear the souls of

Blood soaked lands.

For your lusts, insatiable appetite

For chaos.

For taking others pains

To justify your opulence.

Will she wail with wind?

Blow with fire?

Lead with the undead?

Rise up nature.

Or rise up the lost

For their redemption.

Remember Mother Earth.

While you forgot her,

Her eyes were on you.

Soon you will know how

You will be defeated by Mother Earth….

[hathorwritings]

Flawed

I dream with a child like beauty

Some say I’m immature

I feel this fire burning

With a hopeful allure

My thoughts see beyond the forest

Though I lived amongst the leaves

I’m a temperamental creature

Sensitive cause I love peace

My life has a lot of trauma

But that is in my past

You can tell I’m a bruised person

I cry to get past all that

I hold my emotions in

I don’t like them to be seen

I smile looking for heaven

To live in its serene

Most say they don’t truly know me

I seem like I’m built strong

I hide that I’m sad and hurting

I don’t live it that for long

I fly in positive energy

Those are my wings

I mourn my childhood holdings

Which show in my angering

Put me in a box

Is something you cannot do

I may speak one opinion

But I see a four way too

Just to put me simply

I a grown up child

Still looking for some parenting

Im still lost in the wild….

[hathorwritings]

The Old Me

Writing about love now

Make me scared

Doesn’t lead to my heart

It leads to my head

A place that use to be solace for me

Now I’m not the only one speaking

I’m seeking peace now

The only love I will know

That is an emotion

I want to grow

Going back to brighter days

Where I dreamed like the sun

Not thinking what all of this

Has made me become

A little hopeless

But I’ll continue to fight

For me peace of mind

Which isn’t in sight

A bitter war is now

Frequent in my head

Even when I fall asleep

It follows me in bed

Just want the old me back

Who loves to sit and express

Powerful or political views

That wafted to be addressed

Now I wanna see that girl

Who I truly wanted to be

A poetic icon and writer of movies scenes….

[hathorwritings]

Good Love

I’m a girl lying peacefully

In a rose surrounded bed

Looking for the happy

I dream in my head

A one way street

Which side to go

The one leading to darker bleaks

Or at heavens door

I can see the sunshine

I feel it on my chest

Looking at a tree in a field

With a long awaited rest

I always choose the sun

Though winters in my eyes

Hearing a tale of tales

That’s filled with lies

I want to see the golden streets

Though smoke surrounds me

Optimism is what I seek

It’s this emotion that drowns me

Is it wrong to subcome

To my anxiety

Especially since what I seek

Are joyful comings

My heart is filled with fire

It’s love that cools that part

One day I hope that blissful reality

I will depart

To see my whimsical thought

A love filled allure

Screaming I’m here to guide you

Without confusion in your door….

[hathorwritings]

Spirit Rising

Something in my spirit

Says Egypt was where we use to roam

The place we raised our families

And where we called home

Something in my spirit

Sees the idols we all worship

Witchcraft we called god

And where we learned our churches

Something in my spirit

Says it’s only part of our truth

It’s not where we come from

But it exudes our spiritual roots

Something in my spirit

Feels the oppression from our ancestors

We were the entertainment

Workers and the jesters

Something in my spirit

Says it’s not what we praised

Where we collected our fortune

And learned this thing called fame

Was it our rising power

Where we learned we devoured

All that we do

But is it if our truth

Why we still seek freedom

We know alone that we don’t need them

Other races want to unite

It’s time to end that plight

Something in our spirit

Says we were better left alone

Egypt may be where we gathered ourselves

But I know it wasn’t my throne….

[hathorwritings]

Breath

When the nights are long

And the quiets loud

I reach for you in a crowd

To breathe just breathe

Days turn to sorrow

I feel the pain

Somewhere inside

I have your name

To breathe

Just breathe

My heart is warm

Filled with delight

Then it turns into ma crying night

I breathe just breathe

My home is where

I long to be

With glowing thoughts of you and me

I breathe just breathe

It feels my soul

As time rolls on

I sing this to a long full song

I breathe just breathe

Beneath me there’s

A beautiful tree

That’s a space for you and me

I still breathe just breathe

Longing since my time began

I’ll long for this until my end

I breathe just breathe…..
