Integrity, identity: WE are!
Because we dey, I fit dream
Because we choose, I fit deck
If I look and see sey una
tanda well well
my sister, I go do yanga
If I look and see sey una
dey kampe
my broda, I go dance samba
I am....because...WE are!
Just as the Internet happened upon us and changed our world, I foresee poetry in a new and renewed resurgence: the shorthand for social communication, back-stopping our drift away from heavy reading. Verses for the Masses promotes the Culture of "Popular Poetry", will help make our day, our way, our world, a better blend. Here be First Leg of my Literature Tripod & New Media Offerings.

Debt To The World
My joy of knowing
is the pain of owing
I owe my town
My joy of learning
be the pain of knowing
I owe my clan
The joy of to-ing
is the pain of fro-ing
Never enough
ever so tough
towers and troughs
I owe my soul
The joy of living
be da pain of loving
Always needing
sometimes needling
plenty to gain
I owe da WORLD!
