Mumia
Again, I am moved
By Mumia and plight,
Still his voice finds me
and promises me
He WILL fight on with the good fight.
He will teach from that cell.
That chocolatey, voice
Turning words into life
And inspiring me to write again.
How do I write you?
How do I communicate what I have been through
What I have seen as a REAL journalist.
How my mind has changed through him
And how dangerous I would be as a teacher.
How many students I could reach with his help
How much I could go back and do. How many
Kids I could embrase and tell of Mumia.
