with a boisterous scream*by Lennie Johnson III

Young man or Young soldier,
hold pencil and write sentences,
or grasp guns and fight wars.
Militant warfare occurs here
at the intersection,
Always interrupted by probable cause,
my flaws are tattooed to me,
glued to me,
I cant, hear, see or smell defeat
with a boisterous scream,
I , Too, Sing America, a story
different from yours, yours, yours, and defiantly yours. The most important thing, is knowledge!
