Kenneth R Jenkins Poems

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,
...

It's in your soul
Until it gets in your skin,
Then you try everything in you
To pull from it
...

Around
And
Round
It goes.
...

(A ghetto type of verse)

I am trippin'off of you
And the things that you do,
...

I open my mouth-
And the words are there
But all of a sudden nothing comes out
And those few words that's shared
...

Brother
Listen to me!
There is something I must say
To clear the air of any
...

Inspired by my wife Vanessa A. Jenkins
