What is a poem /
That which comes from your home /
What is a home /
That which comes from your heart /
A place where the poem starts /
About that which surrounds /
Not about dancing clowns /
Life on the edge /
No trophies on a ledge /
Pain and sorrow /
Of yesterday,today and tomorrow /
Blood flowing everywhere /
A small poem to show you care /
A world where brains are scattered everywhere /
No matter of race or gender /
It's the poem you render /
People often only think of themselves /
Your poem turned to dust sitting on their shelves /
Matters not /
You got out your thoughts /////////

About Me
- Jimmy J.
- Poetry, what is it? A poet what is that? I doubt its me ! To me poetry is a word description of life. No matter a good or bad life only the truth of life. A poet can only truly describe a life he lives or has lived. One can not write about drug addiction, gangs, violence, and despair if he or she has not dwelled there. I write things I feel because I have been there, done that and know what many people feel because I feel it. What effects the young today effected the old yesterday. Nothing really has changed when it comes to poverty. I write about black and white issues because I feel neither black nor white, because I refuse to wear color of skin. I write about the young because I never grew up. I write about the old because the years added up.
