 Just Write
 Poem by Annie S., Cole Harbour High, Cole Harbour, NS
 
 
 Just write. Your mind does the work. Your first thoughts on paper.
 Your fingers move the pen.
 Nothing to it.
 Just do it.
 Just write.
 Imagine life and all its works, wonders and powers. From an Egyptian Queen Covered in gold on her velvet sheets
 Eating from the silver platter,
 to the bum on the streets
 whose hopes and dreams
 of being so fresh and so clean
 Still gleam in bright white lights
 but is nowhere in sight. Just write.
 Your mind does the work.
 Whistle while you twurk Oh that line was hurt.
 Bad, sad not me in this crazy place.
 Remove me, Let me be.
 I want to see the world,
 I want to swing and twirl Down the coast of Nicaragua.
 Pearl Lagoon and Bluefields
 and get back to my roots.
 Where my ancestors were created and sedated
 Working like zombies to survive.
 Do what you got to do.
 By any means necessary I say Good day.
 One way My way.
 Tricks and fools by their huge-ass
 Swimming pools
 Making millions Off the foolish
 Who don't know that Liberation Is the only way To Freedom.
 And speak your mind Let the world know
 Who you are
 And where you're going.
 Just write. Your mind does the work.
 Pop your collar Gimme a dollar When you're gone, Gimme a hollar. I'll be there Have no fear
 Go to a place that isn't laced With false convictions
 And racist sections. Love me for who I am
 I'm not the man
 But I'm part of the plan
 And I'll be damned If you tell me otherwise.
 No lies
 Tight ties
 I'm wise
 And high. Way on top,
 not see no stops
 or long drops.
 Knowledge is the key To destroy their foundation.
 For the freedom train Is what I'm chasin'.
 Just write.
 Your mind does the work.
