The Broncos’ Song
I AM (FOR MAYA)
Webster can’t define
Who I was
Or wbo I am.
Sculptors and painters
Will never by able to create
That mysterious image
That is me.
No professor
Could give a lecture
That would ever capture
The wbole of my legacy.
And you ask
Just who it is
1 think I am.
first,
I am Black.
And second
(Only to being Black)
1 am woman,
And I have no need to roar.
My past.
My presence,
My future
All speak for me.
My past says
I am the first motber,
I am Sistah Eve.
The whole of civilization
Had its beginnings inside my womb
And suckled at by breast.
I am the Holy mother,
I am Sistah Mary
My womb,
My body,
My face.
My image
Are all sacred.
My past.
My presence says
I am the phenomenal woman
Of whom Maya speaks.
Pretty women still wonder
About my secrets,
And men still wonder
What they see in me.
And I,
(Black)
(Woman)
say;
It's just In me.
My past.
My presence,
My future
All speak for m3e.
My future says
Because I was
The beginning,
1 habve no end.
I am infinite.
And will
Forever,
Simply,
Be.
Guess Who?
Marguriet Sims
Inside nor out* I
cannot tellS
For who am I, re
ally?
For who is she
that my reflection
shows
as I look into the
mirror?
I don*t KnowX
Someone different
though it*s me.
A reflection in her
eyes
someone happy*
perhaps me?
though her smile
I cannot see.
Inside nor out, I
cannot tell
For who am I, re
ally?

Make peace with
yourself.
Endeavor to enter
into your own inner
cell
and you will see the
heavens.
One in the other is
one in the same;
If you’ll enter any
one, you’ll see two.
TRICK CARDS
By Gyendor
I lead with hearts,
you cut with spades,
then throw in your hand
before the next card Is
played.
You speed when you
drive
and double-clutch on the
night;
Turn-U on t-ways,...
accelerate through red
lights.
Your favorite color is
black.
that’s all your eyes can
see
and your smile hides the
lies
that your love told to me.
You lay in the cut,
never re-nig on the butt,
but keep aside what I
need and more;
a real love in the spread,
not Just what’s In my head,
but only you
can make that play
for sure.
