Beschreibung

This is just a collection of poetry that have written over the past six to seven years. It expresses my out look on certain things going on in my life as well as the world. I am the first person in my family to receive a college degree and I am from an urban and sub-urban community. The majority of these poems were written during the time I was attending college away from home. Everyone may have various opinions about what I have written but this is a form of my personal expression so please just respect the work and my willingness to share, because "I am and artist and I am sensitivity about my shit!" But I do hope you enjoy.

Poetry Run

I have always been inspired by good music, I actually helps me get through alot of worldly issues that when you think about them they should not even have an impact on us if we learned to respect one another. I enjoy word play when it comes to music and poetry, true lyrisim which I try to put into my poetry. I also like being able to paint pictures and relate to other people. One of the greatest rappers and poets is Tupac Shakur. He gave us real at the time moments of struggle and pain. What you will find in these poems are real in the moment depictations of things I was going through during the time I was a college student away from home as well as how I felt about certain things going on in the world. Just to share a little more of my background, I am a first generation college graduate working on a master's degree, I come from a urban sub-urban community where I really aint have much, a single parent home. I want to leave y'all with this great peiece of scripture that inspires me everyday because it has can into my life through three medians:

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
