A Graduation Ode
By Rashidah Muhammed-Bey May 23, 2008

ALAS!

Now, is the time when you look back
and see how close you are
to touching your dream
All that vexed you and every
class that you dispised
can not compare to the
pround glare in your family's eyes

When you first walked through these
high school doors, who would have guessed
What you were in for
There were good times, bad times
some hard times, and some sad times
But, that's all a chapter of the past

So, goodbye to you my old friend 'highschool'
for college is your present alas!

I Will Remember You

His picture hangs on my wall
And I can not concentrate at all
What a senseless way to go. Why?

On my wall I look into his eyes
I hold back the tears I want to cry
The injustice the foolishness.Why?

Was it pride? The hatred the evil
His own people showed him
Why?

When they shot him
It knocked the wind out of me
I became hot from boiling inside
And extremely angry! Why?

He was one of the good guys
He was suppose to be educated
Have a career...Grow old.Why?

Become a husband a father
A grandfather pass down
A legacy of wealth. Why?

When they shot him
I aged extra years
For this beautiful young man
I cry precious tears. Why?

We must find the reasons Why in oder to stop the
Aggressive violent cry!!!

Rest In Peace My Young Friend
