You come into this world
Absolutely like a plain, unwritten, open book
You have to write your fate
There is nobody who is writing your fate
And who will write your fate?
And for what ?
You come into this world just an open potentiality
A multidimensional potentiality
You have to write your fate
You have to create your destiny
You have to become yourself
You are not born with a ready-made self
You are born only as a seed
And you can die only as a seed
But you can become a flower
Can become a tree

1...God won`t ask what kind of car you drove;
He`ll ask how many people you drove who didn`t have transportation.
2... God won`t ask the square footage of your house,
He`ll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
3...God won`t ask about the clothes you had in your closet,
He`ll ask how many you helped to clothe.
4... God won`t ask what your highest salary was,
He`ll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.
5...God won`t ask what your job title was,
He`ll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.
6...God won`t ask how many friends you had,
He`ll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.
7... God won`t ask in what neighborhood you lived,
He`ll ask how you treated your neighbors.
8...God won`t ask about the color of your skin,
He`ll ask about the content of your character.
9...God won`t ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation,
He`ll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.
10...God won`t ask how many people you forwarded this to,
He`ll ask if you were ashamed to pass it on to your friends.

شعر پسر بچه آفریقایی برنده جایزه ادبی 2005
When I born, I Black,
When I grow up, I Black,
When I go in Sun, I Black,
When I scared, I Black,
When I sick, I Black,
And when I die, I still black...
And you White fellow, When you born, you pink,
When you grow up, you White,
When you go in Sun, you Red,
When you cold, you blue,
When you scared, you yellow,
When you sick, you Green,
And when you die, you Gray...
And you call me colored???
