If I were to write,
I would write...
The sound of the deaf,
The words of the mute,
The brightness in the eyes of the blind
And the intellect of a dyslexic mind.
I would write…
The freedom of the caged,
The emotions of the abashed aged.
The feelings of a one-sided lover,
Hoping his slit wrists recover.
I would write…
The struggles of a student,
Struggling to be responsible and prudent.
The sacrifices of a mother and
The pressure on a maiden’s father.
I would write…
The pain of a mother’s demise
and the wisdom of the wise.
The cruel acts of the rapists and
the pure hearts of the Baptists.
I would write…
About your soul for the world to read,
for you will be remembered for
All your good deeds.
