Analysis of It Begins
James E. Spurgeon Jr. 1986 (New Jersey)
I'll just write what I hear
I listen closely, speak with wisdom
Your breath gives away your tone
Vibrations escaping your teeth
Words alone I don't condone
Look very closely
Can you see?
Paragraphs and sentences
It's like all y'all seemed sentenced to this
If you put me first, you'll see action
I act on
Faith
