What do I write to a world Not ready for my strife! This word I speak To the life of this thing called being... Neither the mild nor the meek... Will come to seek From the wisdom that I speak... For this gift I give Can only come from being free Not from the form of the bondage That makes a man flee! No, you can not see me. For I am the countless speck of a being Connected to the spirit of infinity... I AM BLACK is a collection of poems Eman has written from her adolescent years to the present day. These insightful, inspirational, and controversial poems are from Ms. Nepay's personal experiences and the beautiful people she has encountered.
