Pungently Poignant

PUNGENTLY POIGNANT (STRONG & EMOTIONAL) I am from the Mississippi Delta where cotton use to grow. I am a codified bonified mind that way sets the flow. When Hurricane Katrina hit, the vibes of so-called power were felt. Crossing the Mississippi River was a manifold shown. I went to the North to discover self. I gain knowledge and intellect. They say the ways of the oppressed man was embedded by King, Jr. Who went to West to learn Gandhi’s concept! Oprah Winfrey visited his slums. Where she was greeted as a great one. She walked through the City at night. Gaining her insight as sums of sums. You see the Northern region of the U.S. desires the prophecy that man bought via enslavement. The time of servitude and bondage. Today the power struggle cover is iniquity. A paved path of emplacement is the European man statement. X marks my footsteps said 101 Black Man of the Delta President. He is a statue of political etiquette. He hides behind a culture of low-downiness. He broadens my world as the bawdiest *****. We all family out. What do we talk about? The systematic discrimination happening in our lives. To conclude, family and friends is how we socialize. If you want to know how this lineup. I will see you in stance as a home front hand-cuffed. Get your house in order. Your blood does not provide a hidden culture of defiance. ___________________________________________________________| Penned 02/21/2015!

I am a student of life. Your poems on the black's continuous struggle for freedom, equality and against discrimination in one form or another draws me. Though ignorance sometimes get in the way, I find your poems, previous and present, as fascinating as the most passionate expression about the subjects that matter to any person. A fan, I am. KIM :D
