| THE POEMS ARE MOUNTED AND UN-MOUNTED |
PROUD BLACK CHILD
be a proud black child
in your heart and spirit
sound your trumpet loud
for the whole world to hear it.
concrete your ground
and make it strong
show this world
that you do belong.
concrete your ground
and make it strong
show this world
that you do belong
Be a proud black child
and pland yourself
as a garden seed
not as a wild flower
or a tasteless weed
Be a proud black child
and support your brother
give him a hand
like you would any other
let not jealous and envy
stand in your way
just remember with God
we all have a chance some day
to be what we want
to be who we are
like all the rest
we are the best
a shooting, shinning star
Be a proud black child
in all your glory and honor
educate yourself
so your mind
does not ponder
does not ponder
on the weak
and wicked ways
of this life
even though they may
be deisreable
even though they may
be in sight
be a proud black child
and hold your head up high
no one can
put you down
let you down
or help you to die
It's all your doing
it's all in your hands
only you can
make things
happen
only you can
make a stand!!!!

| The Ultimate Achiever
the ultimate achiever
is not a dreamer
but a believer
a beliver in ones self
to take an idea
and make it real
convience others to feel
the excitement
is truly an acheivement
within itself
the ultimate achiever
is willing to sacrifice
his pride
his sanity
his good name
for he has that buring desire
to succeed and grasp his fortune
and fame
the ultimate achiever
knows that he will suffer ridicule
be laughed at and poked fun
but that doesn't prohibit him
from trying
because he knows his
race will soon be won
the ultimate achiever is somethimes
mis-diagnosed
as crazy or insane
buth the real demise
of this lies
withing a very complexed brain
he is sometimes called genius
that extrodinary word
but he is just a powerful
and creative voice
yet to be heard

| Vocing My Opinion
listen to me daddy
I have something to say
it's not often
we get the chance to talk
because you're always away
daddy I love you
and I want to spend more time
you spend more time with everyone else
when will you be mine
daddy i'm your son
and I want be be with you
but time will not hold on for us
and soon I may be a father too
then it will be to late
to talk over something so simple
as a dinner plate
for those times will come and go
and together we have nothing to show
sad is how I feel right now
sad because of what will be
a son without his father
is very damaging you see
and that will be the end result
of our generation
but maybe I can correct the problem
when I have my own father son relation
I can teach my child the importance
of family, love and happiness
so that he will grow up
to a strong black man
and wear proudly, the word father
across his chest
SUPERMAN!!!!!
