Freedom From Jay Townsend Johnson Henry
desperation and solitude
freedom of self expression
sent me into modern day
slavery a victim of plagery
I began using my slave name
kinggirlchild I found my way home
empty and shallow my heart
racing I fell to my knees crawling
with pages in hand in this fair land
oh how grand an American poet survived
