Analysis of As a new friend

Ameena X Beyah 1978 (New York)



The tuning of the ways of development of turning into a new level.
What, pick up the shovel?
Elevate and contemplate the rising of the sun,
Solarizing within the twilight,
The understanding of the delights.
The insights,
I want my mind to get right.
No deception,
Just contemplation,
Not a duplication.
Trying to be a human computer,
Yet they seek to use ya.
To have and to hold,
To be ever as bold,
They said to boss and seek to it what was told.

Ameena X Beyah

The foresight to the insight, The seeking of the limelight. To have an outlook on how to be . To contemplate and comprehend on what to be. Where can I grow any seeds? Or are they just kept to breed? Or go amongst thieves? Foresight on where they want to be? The strengths of either to eliminate or become free? Or where I want to be? Just to sow seeds? Pick up the leaves? And pick up with the shovel, Not queer so please don ‘ t take it there. Survived the plight to see the “ light” to the point of no return. Not seeing anything Al nur. more…
