Analysis of Matthew Sun

Dr. T. Pinnock 1962 (Hartford, Ct)



Sun came new.
A formless thing it is true.
Many neurons to tie.  
Sun great in my eye.
Not of African seed.
Inculcating a leader's creed.
Nursing the Sun since birth.
Creating powerful light upon the earth.      
Time endows history.
How astute the Sun came to be.  
This Sun transformed in the mind into my Son.
Matthew's Sun burns bright in everyone.
This Son is the Sun Killing evil's hold.
Matthew is stronger than gold.  
Son resilient and Bold.
Speech flows with effortless grace.   
Even in this ignorant place.  
Son is the Sun put in fire.  
To instill Self-Control over testosterone desire.
Great burst of power built within the mind.
Persistent yet kind.
Since Matthew's first Sunshine
His Sun, was and is, a Son of mine.

Dr. T. Pinnock

Dr. Pinnock first wrote poetry in the institution he resided in inside a classroom at 8 years old. The typewriter was old and manual with a keyguard. A keyguard is a device with an opening for each key to prevent a person lacking fine motor skills from accidentally hitting a key. Dr. Pinnock was granted permission to use the class alone. He labored there typing for hours ignoring his cerebral palsy. Dr. Pinnock grew up with his family until August of 1970. Poverty forced his parents to make him a ward of the State of Connecticut. more…
