WE HAVE JOINED EACH OTHER TO EMBRACE THIS DAY
WE ARE LEARNING HOW TO KEEP NEGATIVETY AWAY
WE JOINED WITH EACH OTHER IN LOVE & DEVOTION
WE CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER, SO WE SEEK A SOLUTION
THE “CCBC” IS A LIVING & ACTIVE THING
IT IS SOMETHING THAT MAKES THE HEARTS & SOULS OF OUR ANCESTORS SING
WE FOUND OUT THAT WE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON
WE LAUGHED, CRIED AND RELATED TO OUR UNION
THIS WAS TRULY A DAY TO BE REMEMBERED
A DAY WHEN INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE BECAME DEDICATED MEMBERS
IT BEGAN AND ENDED WITH RECOGNIZING WHAT WAS RIGHT
IT BEGAN AND ENDED WITH SEEKING AND FINDING THE LIGHT
SO, WE LEAVE BETTER THAN WE CAME
WE LEAVE AS BROTHERS & SISTERS OF THE SAME NAME:
RECONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED
Peace,
Hakim ‘Ali
