Black Poetry : My brother's keeper

[asimplepoet]

I might be young by the standards of man
But my reflective soul walks with a cane
For wisdom comes by days lived, not counted.
And I'll live it to the fullest till the trumpet is sounded
Each day breakth with new opportunity
To fulfill the promises of harmony and unity
Giving my river of hope time to form more depth
Flowing with a new kind of geniune wealth
Not something that can be measured by society
Or something that I entertain for notierity
Journeying into the inner dimensions of me
You see that I strive to be what Martin dreamed I be
Or what Malcom said I could achieve by any means
This character is inbreed into my DNA & genes
I will suceed and overcome no matter the cost
For I refuse to die burden down and utterly lost
But I'm not selfish for I want to take you along as well
For like Harriet i'll keep coming back to rescue you from hell
I will not allow my people to grow weary and stagnate
We will burst down and surmont the walls of hate
My determination will surpass those who attempt to mislead
No crab in the barrell will quench my desire to succeed
For I will just pull you up by your bootstraps like Booker
For my desire is that we all be more than a onlooker
I wish to expand the talent tenth Dubois spoke about
And I will even if I have to forcefully drag you out
My brother the reponsibility of us resides heavily upon me
And no matter what we're going to make it, you'll see
