The instructor said ,
Go home and write
A page tonight
And let that page come out of you ---
Then, it will be true
"I wonder if it's that simple ?"
To write a poem
To connect , to correlate, to associate
For I cannot perceive life
Like any other man
Life is pain and anguish
Pain, seeing the you love most suffer
And not being able to do do anything about it
It's seeing them perish into the arms of fate
Born in a time where money is power
And justice was an option
Where someone's life can be taken in broad daylight without a trace;
An uncle
Happiness Is temporary
This is true
Makes you think
Do these effigies ever cross Langston Hughes grave ?
Does he sit and ponder like I have
Digging deep into my brain and heart
Trying to feel love and comfort
Because I was raised by my mother
And longed the love of a father
This is true
And this is where my assignment begins
A 16yr old kid with dreams...
Dreams of believing , for he was an agnostic ; the belief in doubt
This is true
For I dislike the minds of people from society
So contaminated and easily manipulated by the venom of society
I am as you are
Lost
A speck during the Dust Bowl
Craving purpose
This was true .
