    A POOR BLACK BOY

    in those days when boys were men
    girls were women
    life was nasty and nutty
    life was full of hope and hopeless
    the sun refused to shine and the rain
     had refuses to rain
    what kind of life is this ?
    i do not know
    oh little poor black boy.

    IN those days when civilization was kicked
    in his face i will step out onto
    thy wild road and head toward a bright
    and promiseing future.
    my life is sweet and sorrowfull,
    and i will say young as i am,i am full
    of energy and talent i have a lot of dreams
    and i will make them come true.
    i should be the father of a child but
    the sun await for no body neither dose the moon,
    yesterday i was baby and today i'm a boy
    tomorrow i will become a man.

    Oh what a word of predicament,
    little poor black boy,whose talent is unique
    seen by men but abuse by money.
    should i preserve my talent till thy sun
    desend on my head?
    if i wish i had a golden spoon,maybe a
    silver one to eat with but i was lelt with
    not even a plastic spoon.
    am just a poor black boy who always
    eat dreams and swallows visions of life.

    Very hard read, I did not really understand this. It read somewhat like an essay, It is prose I suppose but there does it just seems like a series of disjointed statements.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
