Is it enough
To being Black in America
To being in America?
First fired

in memory of the children of South Africa


Freedom!

Monday's child raised up in the morning
Away to school for another day.
Tuesday child makes ready for another day,
Making the best of what that may come their way.
...

Heavenly peace was upon the Earth,
Heaven shook; God's grace was put upon for Glory's worth,
Suddenly a star appeared in the mist thereof,
A Child, Savior of the World born of his love,

Until it gets in your skin,
Then you try everything in you

There is something I must say

Inspired by my wife Vanessa A. Jenkins

Bring on the night- -
Where those dare play,
And where freaks come out anyway
...

Save the babies
Save them all!
Save them before thy fall,
Keep them in the straight and narrow,

A social commentary
...

Fresh is the day anew
And the sun arises with a new song
A new attitude
A new feeling so bold
...

Just because you are young
Doesn't mean much to some
But because you are black
It means nothing!
...

To all who may hear me...

Get it straight from the heart
From this poet

in memory of Melvin Jenkins--my Uncle

You're resting in Jesus' arms
From all safety and away from harm,
