Creativity, candy for the brain.
Colors, relief for the pain.
Money, food for the vain.
Light, life for the stained.
Knowledge, truth for the trained.
Power, a soul engrained.
Crime, to cope with the blame.
Anger, voice of the enflamed.
Courage, to free the enslaved.
America, home to the free and the brave.
Prayers, for the lost and depraved.
Hope, for those alive and in the grave.
Dreams, to strengthen and to save.
Simply Put Stories 
absolutely brilliant and very powerful! Great job!

Thank you, thank you! I never liked writing poetry as much as fiction, but sometimes it just comes to me 🙂
