Poem To Be Featured in Famous Poets "100 Most Famous Poets" Anthology


Shake a black mans hand-
On a corner in America.
Give the homeless man 75 cents and buy that soda later on a corner on a corner in America.
Stand and look at the many races-
On a corner in America,
Blending in and living the American dream on a corner in America,
There are too many drugs-
On the corners of America,
Crack-cocaine, heroine, and ecstasy are all common on the corners of America,
Sex offenders and Pedophiles-
All have field days on the corners of America,
What are we going to do about our corners in America?
Reconstruct, Reunify and Protect our corners of America is the solution to our problem




"Introducing: The Composer" (Publish America/July 2004)

Be nice to reconstruct the corners but seems each generation brings new problems to our corners. Hopefully one day our corners wanted need to be reconstructed.
Very enjoyable and truthful this is.

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
