“Our Reflective History”
by Justin Johnta Perry / Just Jenus Art
Reflection is an important human need
We need to reflect
We need to know and understand
Putting that mirror up to ourselves
Can show us, US
Help our need to know
Who we are, Where we came from, And where we could go
Our reflection can show us
The image of our soul in the universe
and to understand that universe
We Need to know how it started
We must understand its history and like a reflection
History is important
History is a reflection of our peoples
Their struggles, Their sacrifices, Their everlasting spirit
Makes History. They make our History
They make our reflection
They make our universe
They make Our Reflective History
Our overcoming challenge after challenge
our a journey few could manage
Our moving into homes first
Trees, fields and country turned into castles where dreams burst
Our own contractors, designers, planners, mansons
Laying foundation
Pieces of prosperity
New Hopes that makes folks
Just drive through
So it can reflect on them too
Pride in thriving, Pride in building
Providing examples of a better living
Stories of living and growing
Moving out and moving back
A Reflective History told
Different fabric of people, closely knitted together
GOD made a garden with precious fruit from prayer
Biltmore Hills, Hadley, Hicks, Rochester, Bunche, Peebles, Gilliam, Carnage JR High, Newcombe, Callaway, Waters, Bailey, Bates Road, Owens Lane, Thelonious Drive, Doby Circle, Fitzgerald, Campanella, Dandridge, Kitt Place, Coltrane Court
Blessings to Blessings
Family to Family
Road to Drive to Lane to Street
Legacy of soilders, educators, blue collar workers, nurses
Growing up as family, neighbors, friends and business partners
Holiday and special occassions
Making space and fellowship
Hard work
Real Love
Our History
is a reflection of love from above
made into seeds planted four, five, six children deep
Years and Years of history more
Our History
A Reflective History
A mirror into our own soul.
