Someone once said to me
"Your poetry is like social commentary"
And I thought: I must agree because poetry
To me has the ability
To affect change and lives if its real
Good or bad
Like the day I was sitting on a bus
And found myself
Standing in a line for food stamps or
Maybe it was postage
One I collect to sell the other I sell to collect
And I found myself
Jumping out the pew cause I got religion or
Maybe cause I just got out of prison
And I found myself
Marching in an army or
Maybe a revolution because there was no other solution
And I found myself
Lying in a casket
Reborn to begin
A new journey called
Finding my self
