The Muse of Poetry should not know that roses in manure grow. ~The Formula, Langston Hughes<br /> You may write me down in history with your bitter, twisted ties. You may trod me in the very dirt, but still, like dirt, I rise. ~Still I Rise, Maya Angelou

The world is half his that screams,
that yells,
that cries,
that pursues with a fiery passion everything in his life.
And half his that watches it.

The world is half his that loves,
that hates,
that yearns,
that experiences the deepest anguish and pain.
And half his that sees it.

The world is half his that strives,
that falls,
that rises,
that holds his heart hostage and jumps blind
into the night.
And half his that views it.

The world is half his that speaks,
and half his that hears it.
