My Life! My Decisions! Poem by Professor Dr. Stanley Collymore

I surely know what my place in life is but it’s
not what others who perceive me as less
than a human being think it ought to be,
nor will their bigoted and ignorant
assumptions of me become reality on my
part. For I’m a highly intelligent person
with a fully functioning brain in my
head who thinks for himself and
then consciously makes his
own decisions in relation
to what’s best for his
individual life.
