The Pen: I Wonder, I Know

"This book is about the life and times of David Hamilton .My poetry tells about my love, my hate, my choices and fate, My ups, my downshow God turned me around. My depression and despair and how life seemed so unfair. The twist I put onwords, some of the excuses I’ve heard. My father and mother, sister andbrother.How I failed and then succeed and how to want wasnot considered greed. My life behind bars and how everybody is a star. How Ihungered and thirst and how Jesus loved me first. How I felt hatred and so fullof rage, How I was made to feel like an animal in a cage. Racism’s still hereand very much alive. Love can be sweet or sting like bees in a hive. Howthrough it all, I’ve seen so much. Learned not to listen to gossip and such.Something’s they last like levi’s and lee’s, And some of my poetry wrote in theseventy’s. The one thing that’s constant, never did change, God’s word willforever be true and remain."
