I Wrote Some Of The Worst Poetry

I Speak To The Black Experience, But I Am Always Talking About The Human Condition.

I Am The Dream And The Hope Of The Slave

Perhaps Travel Cannot Prevent Bigotry, But By Demonstrating That All Peoples Cry, Laugh, Eat, Worry, And Die, It Can Introduce The Idea That If We Try And Understand Each Other, We May Even Become Friends.

Modesty Is A Learned Affectation. And As Soon As Life Slams The Modest Person Against The Wall, That Modesty Drops.

Poetry Is Music Written For The Human Voice.
