if I spoke
as a matter of fact
if I wrote
plainly
would you hear me,
could you listen with an open mind?
oh, and what platform,
what platform indeed
would there be for me to have
therefore I write the yearning of intellect
and the beat of emotion
then call it, poetry
because
if you absorb it as art
your mind may open
and you will indeed
hear me
see me
know me
and follow my stanzas
as a call for action
empowerment
courage
enlightenment
identity
love
investigation
wonder
balance
and peace
