Absolutely love poetry from Def Jam Poetry! I think it shows that poetry is accessible to all and truly shows how powerful it can be!
I've chosen to share this poem because I think the poet, Kayo, has a voice that demands you to listen to. Also think he sounds a bit like a lion....
Enjoy!
Favorite Line: With the letter L-I-O-N on my throat like an inscription, so if anyone, anyone, walks through that door asking for my description, tell them I'm a dark skin black man who walks like an Egyptian.
