REBEL!!!
REBEL: MALCOLM MARTIN ANGELA by Edaw Wade
you dare define me
mold my reality
predetermine my destiny
rewrite my history
i study your theory
and see
your acts are cowardly
so I scream loudly and do this proudly
closed fist raised above me
thirsty
for freedom you denied me
and I am worthy
oh yes, I am worthy
and those that stand with me
fifty times fifty times fifty times fifty
we
REBEL!!!

Décima of Inspiration
Inspiration sends me her words
bestowed as colors to mind’s eye
anticipation of foci
hues received, but first feel awkward
brushstrokes flow and canvas altered
painting her picture with my thoughts
beautiful image becomes plot
my hand depicts this on paper
result is poem, I am maker
her last word is written, I stop
