Dwayne Banks Poems

When life shows you a gray sky,
say a prayer, know your weather will change.
All things in life come titled, you must
enable yourself to understand the place in
...

When a child is born, help light their way
coming out of darkness, show a sunny day
When rain clouds cluster, threatening rain
be nice to your child, showing no pain
...

Pain;
no stranger
true friend
...

Faith
belief

Love
...

As I read the Bible, I am enthralled
stories captivated, all whom were called
Called to be a witness, to histories' fate
prophets and scholars, pinpoint the date
...

(written for Ismael Moreno., incarcerated in Dallas County Detention Center Aug.7,2008)

A place with no sunshine, there's only pain
received your letter, its begun to rain
...

When people talk, others listen
when the Sun shines, water glistens
When a puppy does, children see
when a kitten purrs, so do we
...

A ruthless heart, not the way to be
there are no sunrises, there is no glee
No laughs, no smiles; true disdain
every minute, every hour; only pain
...

Living in Alcoholism, not the way to be
I'm aware of that fact, it happened to me
Growing up as a child, though getting beat down
the Man that loved me, made me wear a frown
...

In a world that turns around everyday
a moment in time, you'll find your way
A way to survive, be good all around
off thy pedestal, stand on solid ground
...
