Why does this space mean so much /
To those in this square to dwell /
With no place to go /
is it a place like no other /
Neither is of consequence /
Of one another /
It is neither Heaven nor Hell /

Apply yourself to what it is i write,often a poet writes in wonderment , making you wonder what in hell did he say.I had a English teacher on the south side of Chicago tell me her students under stood me well .A poet is not a beholder of words but a beholder of life. "UNDERSTANDING IS VOLUNTARY, IGNORANCE IS A GIVEN " jimmy j In honor of black history month i posted my poem Freedom , how few read it but can you imagine the road of freedom AFTER they were set free ,bleeding feet , hungry children , broken hearted but free , now what of the American Indian , you discover what was already his and yet you had the balls to name it .Ever thing what he called .I would have called it MOTHER ...BYE
Love

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.
