"Lyrical Kites is about letters in a form of poetry written from prison in a creative way, that allows me to express the thoughts of my mind and the feelings in my heart. Words put together from a solid foundation." Black is the color that has a lasting imprint on my life. God has made me Black, So I guess it's only right. I am a young Black male from the inner-city. What does it mean to be Black? Is it just the color of my skin? Or the way I talk? Plus the way I walk? The way my hair grows? Or laid out in the street? Surrounded by yellow tape and white chalk?
