One of the people I really respected as a man as well as a poet passed away.
Pedro

I was gonna post one of his poems but then I thought I would just write something on the fly.I hope he likes it.

For Pastor P:
There was a time when words seemed like things that people would put in cracked and broken vessels.Not knowing if it would hold for the next child who was thirsting in the desert would be able to drink.

By faith,You still would pour your words of life giving water into those wineskins that were rotted and in danger of bursting.They nourished a shy kid from Brooklyn and gave him strength when he thought he had none.

I found them tucked away by adults who left them to decay cause that stuff wasn't meant for "babies",not seeing that babies grow pass the stage of milk and need meat.

I feasted on your words and now my muscles are strong.My muscles are my subject,noun pronoun,verb,abverb and predicate.The structure of my bones are strengthened by you and Piri and Maya and Alice and Langston and Saul and Jessica.Your ancestors and your descendants.Jah put you here for a reason.

Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Zyon but you can call me:
Reason!

Rest in peace, Papi!
