Inspired by the Heavens
Parents were hard-working
Working with Henry Ford's invention
One in the morning
One in the night
I, however,
Never slept
Hearing voices
Telling me to inspire
Open up
Help
I ignored
Started sending them to sleep with me
Never seeing anyone
Voices were restless
"Help someone," they demanded
Help
Now words flow
Into the paper as if it were a tattoo
Carving itself into my brain
Into my life
Into my soul
Help
Is what I'll do
I may not be able to work alongside
With the physically strong
But I can work with
The powerful
This poem is about:
Me
My family
Our world
