Jason Massenburg Poet I do not know?

Young Black King

I am a young black king,
 
I do not portray myself as someone who sells drugs,
 
I do not glorify taking another person’s life, because ….
 
I am a young black king,
 
I was not born into a family of wealth,
 
Nor am I pretentious; just thankful for my sanity and health and regardless,
 
I am a young black king.
 
No matter the trials or tribulations that I may face,
 
Could never compare to the years of torment afflicted upon my race and still..
 
I am a young black king.
