WordPlaying

I said hey, my name is Fiyin.

He goes that’s half my name

So, Im better than you.

I say I got half the name,

But I am twice the man.

Nose rings and tongue rings dont make you cool,

Put a ring around your heart

and go to school

Get married to truth

Buy a house, build a fence,

Make love and birth Common Sense

Stand against the winds the world sends

Be a man, stand for what's right

Even alone, stand with all your might.

Show me that you're better than me,

Then maybe you'll be good enough for you.

Very good poem. It has a nice cadence to it.
