Birth

Birth

A Poem by Erica Ross
"

I have been inspired again

"
Sophisticated and forward
When I was born, a lover wept
It all happened on an April sunset
My parent's minerals created a new perspective
My mom would say that I am enchanted
My daughter..I'm sure he said mysteriously
They told me that I was intrigued with the world, immediately
Life is an issue that I was ready to read
And I would record anything in my mind,
even if I never knew what it might mean
How deaf or blind a child can be,
but how can you blame them?
So pride-free.
From then on, I've been on an all time high
And one Sunday, a prophet told me I had a job with God, to lift my people high
From birth, they never tell you how you would be infatuated with the pleasures of hell,
Just let a child know the truth
Just like me, they'll eventually understand.
