Life Wheels Poem by Ben Akinpelumi

I am an undefined nature, a creative
heart that gives love.
I am a misunderstood human being
with a beautiful mind.
I am a powerful black woman that
fights for the freedom and justice of others.
I am a lover of poetic writings, the
power of words that justify something
significant, and the power of an
Intelligent Black Educated Woman.
I am someone who feels love of both a mother and father, pain of the lost
worlds that is beyond our own realm,
and desires of a lonely heart that has
sacrificed everything to make things
right.
I crave the intellect of powerful words that can't be determined by oneself,
the racisms of the diverse cultures to
end, and hope for the better future.
I am someone who gives a friend
without a home a place to dwell within,
significant promises to those who can only dream, and love to those who
have never encountered the willing
love of another.
I am someone who fear that the
excuses of our incompetent generation
will use them to build monument of nothingness and that they will dwell on
them; preventing themselves from
succeeding, losing those in which I love
and care for, and the generation that is
blinded by the likes of greed and
infidelity. I am someone who lives in a world
that is understood as violent, hated,
and unloved.
I am part of the lost generation.
