♦ Street Roots • July 15-21,2016 Poetry ♦ P ag e 13 Untitled by Michone Nettles When we are born, We have succeeded in life. Air as fresh winds blow our minds, into oblivion. Eyes above watch as the inner circle continues, around and round. Have feet will travel, soul searching with a smile, and a good friend at your side. Let the wrong be right, the world turns slow, while we stand aside and look. Hopeless by Heath Cleavland A boy in unwashed clothing Made for a man twice, not by age but perhaps by vice He needs a smile, a bed And most of all a clear head. A girl, who hates the way Her parents rule the home A place she was and is not now, where she will end the day, With her own palace and her crown. Tradition of the Stars & Stripes Equal we are as a nation Where communism & community are unrelated On the other side, let’s not be houseless, hungry Neither one nor all. Share the dream the wish, the desire, give a damn, don’t wallow in the mire. A Poem About You by Kareem Ali I see you in the meadow Crossing into a quilt of trees Out where a nectar of daisies Rises into a fissure of light. And there You stand perfectly still Until the orchard of memories subsides Forming a tissue of clouds Drenching you with a cracker crumb Trail of tears. iwewstfi by Pittimi 8sr&#'&nm.Mirty Airaory Group • St. Jofins Mo in Street Costlnop, sC LAM E j t b f i t n t ~ BSBB W HEN Jade-APANO M ulticultural Space (JAMS) a t th e co m er o f 82nd and SE Division: 8114 SE Division Thursday, July 28th from 6-8pm t » 1 M M t f Si I « l» | -f**^M**«k II ■ ■ Expanding Housing Opportunities for AU Portlanders TO CELEBRATE THE LOWER WILLAMETTE RIVER AND ITS CLEAN UP E MUSIC: jt u E G R A S S - JA M G R A SS - Z Y D E C O / Loggers Daughter, Cascade Crescendo, New lb« rians & DJ Anjali and the Incredible Kid FOOD VENDORS • BEER GARDEN ENVIRONMENTAL FAIR • CHILD DANCE TRC LIVE BIRD >M AUDUBON • LIVE FISH WALKING ¡S&MORE*FF
