The Kingdom Is Ours
The Kingdom Is Ours
Does the king make a kingdom? Or does a kingdom make a king? This hidden empire of kings and queens, that no one's noticing. (Lupe Fiasco and Damien Marley)
This is what we have been granted, my loves.
Heaven and earth have met
and they have met in us.
We are the ones—
the wretched of the earth.
The worth of the cosmos resounding
in our bodies.
Stardust.
What we have been given
cannot be shaken,
cannot be taken away.
For it has been conferred, confirmed
by the blood that courses
through our veins.
The DNA test returned positive.
We are the heirs.
We are the air
That will fill the new creation
with glorious breath.
We are
what comes next.
