I am a Black Man
Twenty-four years old
Very intelligent
What am I?

I was born out of wedlock
Getto raised
Street wise
What am I?

I am an ex-marine
An ex-husband
An ex-convict
What am I?

I live in a crowded house
In a large City
In a strange State
What am I?

I am without a home
No friends
No woman
What am I?

I am looked down on by Society
On parole
Feared by women
What am I?

I am unemployed
Unhappy
Insecure
What am I?

I AM LONELY!
