Array ( [sid] => 134045 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Black Kite [time] => 2007-05-03 01:32:27 [hometext] => This poem was written through some really ruff times. I am black and successfull but some people dont like that Idea. I am only 13, I shouldn't have to deal with this._______ [bodytext] => Black Kite

The sky stays blue on days when the sun smiles
and the white cloud glide across the sky

But black is only in the sky when clouds bring rain
causing disappointment and I don’t know why

Yet I have this kite that I fly on days when rain hits the worn out blacktop
This kite casts off and floats in the sky over an empty church parking lot

This kite is the number one symbol that represents our
poverty, no money; financial problems are causing emotional
robbery. Forcing tears to water thee;
moving my feet to my cultures modern beat.

Once this kite takes flight with all its might,
it is prepared to fight. Two wrongs don’t make a right,
thats why I fly one

black kite.

Black Kite

The sky stays blue on days when the sun smiles
and the white cloud glide across the sky

But black is only in the sky when clouds bring rain
causing disappointment and I don’t know why

Yet I have this kite that I fly on days when rain hits the worn out blacktop
This kite casts off and floats in the sky over an empty church parking lot

This kite is the number one symbol that represents our
poverty, no money; financial problems are causing emotional
robbery. Forcing tears to water thee;
moving my feet to my cultures modern beat.

Once this kite takes flight with all its might,
it is prepared to fight. Two wrongs don’t make a right,
thats why I fly one

I read both your poem's and i like what i read.
As for people not likeing you cause as u say your sucessfull, that's there problem. your poetry is stylish and yet convincing and well thought out ,not to mention based on your experience. I see u haven't posted much which leads me to beleive your new here, so let me be the first 2 welcome u and i like your sence of humor that's something you won't fin'd much on here, not 2 worry though, u wouldn't beleive what i've gone through on here and i'm not new and i'm not black, but i am old and that in in self is a form of horrendous discrimination and pain. Be that as it may welcome and i consider this poem a 5 star vote keep up the good work.

You are a very intelligent 13 year old. You have more insight than most adults do. Keep your chin up. You will accomplish great things someday. Don't let the ignorance of others bring you down. A very good poem, a pleasure to read.
