Dr. Donovan Colquitt

If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

31 poems·Since March 2020

I write because I feel. I feel because I think about where we are today, where we've many times before, and where aim for many tomorrows. To say I'm content would be an overstatement. To say I'm grateful would be an understatement. I'm seeking collective liberation through a medium in which I have yet to fully explore. I desire harmonic convergence for YahWeh's kingdom in this life and beyond.

Calm Before the Storm

March 25, 2020

I was a kid with composure

Experienced a lot yet,

Never saw full closure

You see…

My life was reversed

Like a turnover

By a curse

I thought hell would burn over,

Before I reached peace

It’s like war

With the Middle East

Cost too much to run

My anger is unbelievable it seems

So many children can’t even eat

I’ll cause a merciless storm

More inconceivable than all dreams unborn
