Readin

 “Reading is more important than watching tv”

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing 

Readin 

I need to exercise my brain 

More…to learn and relearn 

My vocabulary again…only to 

Get my voice stronger, more 

Bolder…. I need to read…

I need to understand 

I need to be open…

I wanna educate myself 

To know things 

Like black history….

So I could make metaphors 

Divine in someone’s mind….

I can encourage others to 

Read instead of lookin at 

Social media….you know 

I ask once before or maybe twice 

When is the last time 

You pick up a book?

Do you read a page

Or skim?

For me, readin helps me 

Express my poems 

Deeper….

It helps me to create a space 

To have readers imagine 

Be inspired….

I need to read….

For real 

For real 

I must read…
