My HBCU Mission

I first met her in New Orleans a vision of beauty with brains to match

I ran wild not understanding her purpose in my life

I studied all the wrong subjects all-nighters were my favorite

The Barn was my spot instead of the classroom

I regrouped and focused in the city of wind

My next destination was Chocolate City

My consciousness was awakened liberation was my mission

My assignment was a degree from the Black Harvard

I was focused and then I discovered the Yard

I was cramped between Blackburn and Douglass

I studied the legacy that was there before me

Sutton and Eaton engulfed me with all night spades and conversation

Thursday's were a Trio of half price pizza with full price memories

I went  Wong messing with Tommy on more than a few nights

I was mesmerized by the the Fine Arts on Fridays with a 40 in my bag

Meridian was an Ebony palace I couldn't resist

Park Square was a hidden treasure for educated Soul Sisters

9th and T brought escapades that would live in Infamy

A momentous ride where  I met Nik who was a bit of a Freak 

I sipped too much on the amenities offered ignoring my original plan 
HU I Thank You I don't know where I'd be without you!!
