"You Are"
They killed him yesterday.
But today he is alive.
I hear his voice
all through the rooms
and hallways.
I hear his footsteps
on the second floor.
I eye the ceiling fan
searching for the answers
I lack.
Answers he failed to give
before they killed him
They
unknown assailants
who came at night while he rested.
For they knew his people would rise
beside him
They knew...
Still his voice lives on.
But without him present
the children wont hear it.
Only a few
Only those who will one day
become leaders.
"Against it all"
The planets did not align
on my birthday
They were all in disarray
A sideways M,
or W,
Whichever one you prefer.
The point is
I was not suppose to
have been born.
6 to 7 months old.
Brain not developed enough
However the sun had been shining
As my mother pushed
the sun shined on.
And the planets,
they had been invisible
to the naked eye
when naked I
entered the world.
Too frail to be spanked
I cried on my own.
And in Nov 21st
this poet was born.
