Happy National Poetry Month

I love you black baby boy babbling,

I love you black boy jumping inside of joyful words,

I love you black man when you stand in your WORDS

I love it the way

You juggle words

recite words

swing words

You be hitting them home runs

sing words

You really mean those words

The way you dance words

in your B-Boy stance

crown words

whisper words

nurture words

For your queen and your princess

incite words

rap words

scream words

To defend the oppressed

cry words

define words

flip words

With your creative genius

stir words

steer words

win wars with words

For words are weapons

kiss words

settle words

mean mug words

Like

I aint neva scared

uplift words

carry words

Some heavy , some light

command words

feel words

dream words

By day and by night

soften words

strengthen words

For you are a word begetting words and for that I love you.
