Paradigm Poem by Renee SeaBrooks

Can you tell

by how

I look,

if I was

a junky

or

hooked

on books,



Can you tell

by the

color of

my skin,

how I

live

or where

I'v been,



Can you tell

by the

car

I drive

if I'm

good

or if

I'm jive,



Can You Tell

from where

I sleep

if I

am happy

or if

I'm deep,



Can you Tell

the company

I keep

if I'm

strong

or if

I'm weak,



Can you tell

if Christ

lives in

me,

Can you tell

by what you

see?
