POET, I AM NOT I dream of the unimaginable. I hope for the improbable. I speak of the inconceivable. I seek the untouchable. Others ask why I dream, Why I hope, Why I speak, Why I seek. Sometimes, I too wonder. They say there are sometimes no answers, For they'll never know the questions. They say there is no end to prejudice, For their middle name is black and white. They say we are all equal, For man was meant to be above women. I say no. There will always be answers if we seek. There will be no prejudice if we hope. There will be true equality if we speak. Some say we are doomed, there is no hope. I say no. Many ask why protest, it is futile. I say no. Others say there is never peace without war. Again, I say no. Why do I refer to these people as: They, Some, Many, Others? For I am unique. Perhaps even rare. Why is this so? To some I am a black sheep. I say no . .. I am rare. To some I am only a fool. Isayno Iam me. To some I am a dreamer. I say no . . . I am only dissatisfied. They say some, many, and others are Observers and followers. They only know what they are taught. Thinking for themselves no longer exists. Perhaps it never did. I am not a robot who listens to others. I am an individual . . . An individual concerned with: The past, Present, And future . . . if there is to be one. Things change over time . . . Places, ideas, morals. I cannot stand still and watch, At least not when I am unhappy. People say dreams and reality can not mix. I say no. What am I really? I am . . . an IDEALIST. Cherry Kim '82 ARE N.D
