I am not built for athleticism
 
I am not top in my class
 
I am not the king of society
 
So what am I?
 
I am human being
 
Like 7 billion more, I want to be heard
 
While my power does not lie in my fist
 
It lies in words and peace
 
Since when did blood shed and battle grounds explode problems?
 
Seems like it spread seeds for new ones
 
Education is the greatest equalizer
 
What better ways to educate then with words?
 
Let wisdom spread and fly like birds
 
A tear shed at the sight of mangled emotions turned to a writing
 
I can move emotion with the wave of a pen
 
The pen is mightier then the sword
 
Expression of ones soul is powerful
 
Keeps the mind from shriveling up
 
Keeps the demons away
 
Lets me live another day
 
Lets the world in on what I have to say
 
A picture is worth a thousand words?
 
Then a poem is worth a million words
 
Elegantly crafted into beauty or agression
 
In a world filled with high expectations
 
We should write with no limitation
 
For better or for worse
 
It will stir change
