I wish
i could see my name in print
that someone would find some joy in a piece that i've penned
that has come unbidden
through me
to you
from my Muse
without hte ruse of conformity

I wish
i knew what it means to be an american
to be a man without an hyphenated nationality
in a Reality
where the fallacy of black history month does not exist

I wish
more people were serious
that folks found it dishonorable to pay lip-service to problems they have no intentions or
are too cowardly to solve

I wish
that all the world would embrace the chaos of nature
of OUR nature
and take the chance of living fulfilling lives

I wish
time would find me favorable and hold me close

I wish
i could go home and
know
that things will be ok
I wish
today i could come with an absoulute solution to all of my questions and/or problems

I wish
i could check "Human" in the race column

I wish
these things and many more
but
before change comes about
i must step out of my comfort zone and
begin a strong campaign
displaying
the change i want to see

but what is no one fights with me...?
