Just A Test
One of my earlier poems this piece is done in a very ‘rhymey’ kind of style. The line ‘green monkey viruses’ refers to how early in the AIDS crisis scientists were trying to say that a Black Haitian was bitten by the green monkey. That was more racism than anything else but that is a glimpse into how I tend to put these little ‘nuggets’ in my poems for you to dig into and discover more information on yourself. Enjoy.
As we journey through life we will fall. We will trip up. We will make mistakes and at least a few BIGGIES! The question is what will we do when we fall. In this poem we have some examples through metaphor of “falling” and at the end of climbing.

Are we allowed to be? Are we allowed to be ourselves to explore who we are without the judgementalism and control of a community largely ignorant of our situations?
This poem is one of my most personal. I speak from a place of frustration and exasperation in this piece. Perhaps it will resonate with you.
This poem was inspired by my daughters. I wrote this as an exhortation for them to speak their mind. Let their voices be heard if there is something bothering them. Speak truth to power even if that power is a parent.

As poets, as artists we are trying to bring people to higher consciousness. We are trying to illuminate. And by extension all righteous people are trying to bring some righteousness to the world. It’s about reaching out to souls. Soul to Soul.
