Isis Imani Sanders

Most persons that know her well describe her as a fearless woman of God, always willing to share her wisdom, and a smile, joyful, curious intriguing and genuine. She said when the Lord came and got me I had been through the valley in the shadows of death, I had endured many dangers toils and snares from a world that desired to end my life. When I surrendered to the Love of God he planted new ideas in my mind, he gave peace to my heart and soul, he gave me shelter from the storm and allowed me grace to complete the good work he started in me many year ago and there is nobody else like me who can do what he wants me to do his purpose. But first you see he had to stop me from doing mine which was not the promise of the fulfillment that I was looking for and what I needed and he watched over me while I was still in sin because he is faithful and he really loves me... The tears I cry now are tears of joy, when I look back over my life I can testify to an almighty God and what he has done. I smile just to let the world see how grateful and thankful I am and I am secure in knowing that nothing or no one can ever snatch my life from his hands.

Epilogue

Will you? Can you?

Will you take this journey with me?

As if it was my last?

Will you lead me into my future?

Not forgetting my past?

Can you love me without the

Question of why?

Because I see this world

Through Angel eyes

GOT WORK TO DO!

I know nobody here can escape the daily news

Democrates and Republicans the whole country

Has got the blues! There is a war going on folks

And the outcome will depend on me and you

Cause we still got work to do

Breaking these chains that bear our names

Freedom should really be our only claim to fame

Us not being united is a crying shame

You don’t know me and I don’t know you

But we all share the nightmare and this disaster too

Climbing up this mountain requires all of us me and you

Rest for the moment shout and dance all you want to

But we still got some work to do

Our ancestors cried was beaten killed and denied

They did everything they could possibly do

But not for us to lay back and take it easy placing the

Load on the shoulders of a few

Babies shot, all night in jail we come too far to fail!

You must be caught up in some aphrodisiac

Trying to forget where you really at.

Oh Pardon Me Please

I just needed a moment to inform you face to face, cause this country is the right address and this is the same place and only the strong is going to win this race

Hold me up as I hold you

Cause brothers and sisters we still got work to do!

INTOXICATING DELIBERATING

Hush hush be very quite to hear the words of the messages

That brought us here

Steal away, steal away, and steal away home

They called us one by one; they called us name by name

Move straight ahead don’t fall for no in between games

Intoxicating Deliberating Messages

Somebody forgot the song, the writer the lyric, the people to lead on

Maybe a poetic gesture that’s bold black
