Poem Title:
Poem
Mastermind String bean of a youth because of an eating disorder Found a cure for that ailment called Mary Jane Grown a little bit south of the Tijuana border Fleet of both feet and wit, Oop’s I forgot about the tongue And a magnet for lots of chicks both old and young Speaking quite softly yet carrying a very big stick at all times A quick grasp of the English language both written And spoken with the sweetness of rhymes Became an object of more senseless violence not just To the mother of step but also bullies, racist and wanna be thugs, Rejected the life of a loser being involved in crime and drugs More interested in science, the stars and history that was past, They hated me even more each day for the A's I scored in every class Evolution’s calling that puberty heralds were the same for him as all others Cupid's onslaught of bows and arrows went over my head Years of mistreatment were turned around from foe to friend Finally he could distinguish the difference between love and lust And eventually learned of those who knew of honor that were worthy of trust Elevation of status from nerd and geek to the conquering lord of hood boys and girls Showed the masses of lost children treasure, not of diamonds, rubies and pearls Taught them pente, mahjong, backgammon, and chess Opened in their eyes many new worlds limited by the world not thought In the hopes that one more spirit such as he had been rises from the mire And is destined for a place of ascension in the azure skies
