Why I Write Poem

Why I Write
By: Ronald Jackson

A little boy came over to me
He asked me about slavery
He wanted to know what it was like
This is why a write

I was once a little boy
I went to school one day
My teacher asked me why I looked so sad
This is why I write

Then, time came to apply for high school
I looked through the requirements
I noticed that I had to prove that I was best for the school
This is why I write

The end is now near
I have proven my point
I am different
That is what I wrote
