That&#39;s why they stole it and re-wrote it. <br />There are others who refer to it as the N----- poem.<br />Now, I&#39;m being crucified by some who claim to have so much &quot;high&quot; self-esteem that they don&#39;t understand that some of our young people are growing up hating themselves and need to know that God did not make a mistake when He created them! These are&nbsp;the same folks who use and listen to all kinds of profanity and say &quot;this is how WE talk!&quot; I thought it was a choice, not a lifestyle.<br />Peace Poet Ebo http://www.poetebo.com/soithought/control.comment?a=render&blog_id=1399173&entry_id=1810143 Sun, 25 Jan 2009 23:00:10 -0500 So I Thought
