Nikki Giovanni
Purpose
I am the voice
No one hears
No one listens
My voice carries
In the wind
No one cares anymore
I’m not corporate America
I’m not wealthy
I’m not white
So I don’t matter
I’m the transgendered
I’m the poor
I’m the uneducated
I’m the minority
Whose been left out
We dream of a world
We once had
The land of the free
free and equal for every race
everyone chanced at prosperity
My wish to humanity
Is that light shines once more
Before the candle wick burns out
And then darkness prevails
And we lose sight of our purpose
