POEM: Will they understand me?

Maybe the next generation won’t understand my thoughts,

‘Cause I am telling his-story.

Bubbles of ideas emerging from my pot and yet I still hunger for more food for thought.

They call me artist, but the truth is I don’t know where to draw the line,

They say that I am dead and don’t see the possibilities, but I respond ‘I am the salt of the earth writing in season(ing)’.

I wonder if I let my pen bleed will it be plastered all over the news?

Writer kills his art;

I am looking at the bars- Snickers, Mars, Oh Henry, Milky Way, but still stuck in this galaxy.

I guess my time has come when my voice will no longer be heard; my words will no longer be said; my thoughts will no longer be shared

Express yourself my people,

Before your body is dead.
