[to Write Poems] I Think It's Important

Death Is A Slave's Freedom.

Being Black And Poor Is, I Think, Radically Different From Being Anything Else And Poor. Poor, To Most Blacks, Is A State Of Mind. Those Who Accept It Are Poor; Those Who Struggle Are Middle Class.

We Are Better Than We Think And Not Yet What We Want To Be.

A Lot Of People Resist Transition And Therefore Never Allow Themselves To Enjoy Who They Are. Embrace The Change, No Matter What It Is; Once You Do, You Can Learn About The New World You're In And Take Advantage Of It.

The Nature Of Tragedy And Accident Is That We Cannot Predict.
