A Dedication to my Poetic Brothers

Waking up to Folgers in my cup

Reading written words from my brothers

 Knowing that they still exist behind pen and paper

Gives me hope for a better tomorrow

 Voices like Malcom

Leadership like Frederick

Hearts like Martin

Inspiring like Medgar Evans

Sense of humor like Mr. Gregory

Sam Cook said “a change is gonna come”

Langston said “hold fast to our dreams “

Marcus said “with confidence we already won “

Stokely said “we ain’t running no more”

Keep writing kings of the Most High

Never stop expressing who you are  

And where you come from

 Nothing but love
