The Broncos’ Voice March 1994 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?

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.
