James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Rhyme

I Am Malignant Does Anybody Care-

I am malignant 
Does anybody care that I’m widowed
I wash my face and hands in a prison
Does anybody care that I’m without bed and pillowed
My emotions and head and heart loft arisen
Government treatment of me so indignant
~
Just a pestilence dreamer
Does anybody care that I care
I wish that I had free will
Low-esteem I await my dreams, I call on the redeemer
No insurance to pay for my pill
I'm in need of your prayer
~
Bury me with justice under the toll bridge
Does anybody care that I’m black
Or has the early 60’s come back
Others snicker and laugh while moving ridge,
~
I wish that I had free will
I have been listen to myself
Looking out this condemn house window sill
My sentiment and choice process, cross I bare
In awe and wonder I wreck myself
Just a pestilence dreamer
~
Does anybody care that I care
I wish that I had free will
But yet instill
Low-esteem I await my dreams, I call on the redeemer
~
Does anybody care that I care
And if there’s anyone here, Where are you where?
