I am poetry
I am those words your father whispered
into your mother’s ears as he hit her
word’s that resulted in… you.
I am poetry.

I am the hist… of history
of stories untold
the words that brought peace to war
and tranquility to the tortured soul.
I am poetry.

I am the crest of the crescent moon
that lit the nights of social gloom
and brought freedom to the shackled mind
on underground railroads of thought combined
this poetry and me to set you free
for I am poetry.

I was in the heart of Hannibal
as he scaled mountains to history’s stratosphere
In the soul of Sun Tzu
as the art of war brought impotent civilization fear
In the mind of Chaka
as the Zulu peoples conquered a continent with the spear
I was that poetry
In the peace of Martin, just deserts of Malcolm
that fought the same war, and battled talcum
covered hatred and with unity and love, hate was shattered
I was that poetry
that flowed the Tigris and Euphrates
to Egyptian civilization, pyramids amazing
words flowing in the heart of Hebrew slave who made them
even rolling from the lips of Moses/Aaron who’d save them.
I brought culture to the Roman Empire of old
Dominating the world, no story untold
as historians passed on history, to pen their souls
as poets with Greco/Roman flow.
I am the Chinaman’s chi
the Negro’s sweet beats
the German’s poetic strudel
I am the whole world’s kit and caboodle
I am poetry.
I flowed from David’s pen in the Psalms
Was the Wisdom of Solomon, his dread-locked Son
an ecclesiastical journey to the center of the human’s being
opening blinded eyes, makin’ sure all of’um are seein’.
I am Buddah’s bust
Mohammed’s just
Chirst’s sinless blood
bringing salvation to the poetic world.
I am poetry.
So flow with me….
