Why I Write
I write
to verbally wrong those who are blind
without written rights
with no lyrical sight
living in the poems day not knowing its what happens in the poems dream at night shedding literal darkness upon my lights
with a bit of courage feeling fright in the sky
flying like a chinese kite
eating away at the core sugar cake bite
chopped verbs like cow skin tripe
in the words personal hype through letters slowly but surely typed
small yet reaching heights
among a culture bleeding yet still choked tight
because its not a maybe or a might
poetically doing what I do when I WRITE.
