Can you do it?

 Can you be happy?

Can you enjoy yourself by yourself?

Can you laugh out loud for no rhyme or reason?

Can you dance like you don't care if someone stares?


Can you admit when your wrong sometimes?


Can you exercise the same patience with others as you want them to do with you?


Can you not rush to judgement before you have weighed all the facts?


Can you let it go and not allow it to consume you?

Can you not rationalize for once?

Can you act civilized?

Can you think?

Can you express yourself?

Can you use your imagination? 

Can you love?

Can you show it?

Can you be free?

Can you not loose it?

Can you do it?

The caged bird




You spread your wings too far apart and flew too close to the sun.






You looked for other ways to live life and saw none.




Now you sit isolated and all alone. All you have is memories and visions of home.





You lie awake restless and wondering when you'll see this place again.





You want desperately for someone to open your cage so that you may flee, to spread your wings again and to be free. Fear not , your day is coming soon.





Take heart to all the lessons you learned in your cage so that when your freedom comes you may bloom.





For freedom is but a state of mind. A cage is just a room.





I dedicate this poem To My father, and all other prisoners and parolees in the U.S penal system.





The worst part is already over brotha's and sista's.





Keep ya head up. All you have to do now is live righteously and you can't fail.

untitled


I'm like steel./ cold and hard/ I never express how I feel.




flowers bloom/ infant children become fully grown.
time pasees.
season change.




I get older/ and yet reamin unchanged and all alone.
