A.K.A. Michael Smith
At first
It was his poems content and their truth
That caught my eye
For I know all about
Cold
And how hard it can be
Dealing with the streets
Although thousands of miles
And more than thirty years separate us
I can feel and relate to every word that he writes
I truly wish
I could take all of my understanding
And place it inside of his soul
But all I can do is pray
That my words can touch his heart
And help him find his way
Through the hell of his six mile block
Kareem
Through the picture on my blog
You discovered that I am not black
I pray that through my words
You can feel
That I am still your brother
Written for one very talented 16 year old
poet on our site. I hope he beats the streets
that devour so many of our youth for if he
does I know he will shine. God Bless
