James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

I Rise

What shall I do when I can not hide;
And the sheets that I lay on no longer I abide;
Awaken by the storms screaming thunders cry;
I rise

Where shall I go as I sleep my eyes closed wide;
My memory frozen as my brain is fried;
Awaken now my eyes open shut;
Tell tale stories as I pain as I hurt;

What shall I do now that I in reality;
And who will come to my aid the fatuity;
So much adulterated hatred;
No time to be convicted, for I stand acquitted;
I rise
