By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
I’ll lasso the sun and scorch the land
Cause fire brings renewal
Growth from the smallest seed prospers to greatness
Overshadowing the past that burned out with time
I’ll straddle the moon and ride through the night
Cause in darkness I creep
In dead silence
Stalking the weak and stupid
Out of misery joy cometh
Striking the match to light the light of ingenuity
Light bulbs flash in my head
Innovative flashes of change
Strike me with fear and I become confused
Submitting to the mass media
Letting them dictate my life
Living in a state of darkness
No one saw the crimes committed against the innocent
But are they really innocent
Or are my eyes blind to what’s real
Did they put themselves in this predicament?
By believing the lies spewed
Or am I just dreaming of equality

Tony, I would like to feature this poem in either November or December on my Poetic License series. Once a month I post great poetry that I find by searching blogs such as yours. If you allow me to use your poem, you will get full credit and a link back to your site.
Three times a year I will also be combining the previous four months into one large magazine style post. If you don’t mind please let me know. If you would like to see an example, the first magazine issue of the last trimester of 2010 was posted on January 6th (http://morningerection.wordpress.com/2011/01/06/the-new-tri-annual-poetic-license-magazine/) with the poems from Sept-Dec of 2010.
Here is the link to the January Poetic License (http://morningerection.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/poetic-license-5/) if you would like to see it before you decide. Thank you for your consideration, regardless of your decision.
