My World Poetry Slam Man

Today is World Poetry Day and I am not much on the rhymes

However if I took a little time I could find some in my soul.

My soul is a place where the gladness, madness and fire comes from.

My blog is truth tellin’ and on point from where I sit or stand

The work I do comes from a great demand for saving lives

But somewhere you gotta start

So this is my story for the moment maybe I am a poet and I didn’t even know it.
