PAGE 4 THE VOICE NOVEMBER 30, 1975 POETS AND WRITERS PAGE HELLO WORLD Hello world, It’s me again. I just want to give my love And be your life time friend. No time for back stabbing No time for smiling in your face. Just a true and honest friend To fill your life with good and grace. Early in the morning When you get out of bed Don’t forget the promise This great friend has said: To be true and honest And a life time friend To give out all love With no lasting end. Judy Ann Boddie HONEY My legs have treaded My hands have caressed My arms have entwined My lips have soothed My eyes have wandared My heart has overflov^^n With love for you. Honey. . To: Gemini From; Libra Mankind Is — The favorite animal on earth. THE SWING In my mind’s back yard There hangs a swing. Where I pondered my thoughts,- Where I studied everything. A swing which is sturdy, Which is strong and straight, Where I reflected on the past, And wondered of my fate Early in the morning, Before breakfast was set, The swing of my mind And my daily plans had met. And by mid-morning. With its bright, burning sun. To the swing of my mind, I had always run. At lunchtime when Hunger made fast my feet. The swing of my mind And the luncheon would compete, For my very special presence Which I always knew would bring, Me running and shouting, Back to my mind’s swing. At mid-afternoon, when it was Time for me to lie down, Visions of my mind’s swing In my dreams were bound. To always haunt me Throughout my sleep. No matter how restful,- How long or how deep. Refreshed from my nap Like a person anew, I ran straight to my mind’s swing, And I knew just what to do. I climbed onto the seat And began to swing, Past the sun and moon- Past everything. Past the lone and hate- Past the courage and the fear- Past everything 1 knew Or lovGi or held dear. Carmen Ford MY DESTINATION? MY FATE? On life's road I travel But Where I'm headed I know not. Clouds surround me. I am confused. Mystic is everything with which I am concerned. I am afraid of tomorrow because I don't understand the events of yesterday. I am afraid of death Because of life I am confounded. I travel on, yet, I know not Where my destination awaits or Where my fate lies. Ron WiMiams TIME If I could become the time of day. I'd give all of myself to you. Cause you never appear to have enough time To do all of the things you should do. There'd be time for working and playing. Time for resting and having fun. Time for crying and time for laughter- And for walking in the sun. Time for searching your spiritual being. Time for analyzing your state of mind, Time for chasing after rainbows. And for leaving the world behind. All these things are pretty important In the rationing of your time. But please remember, since it was my idea. Not to forget about mine. Carmen Ford LOVE . . Love is joy. Love is pain. This thing love has no real name. All over the world it has fame, But this thing love is no child's game. It makes me laugh. 1 makes me cry. For it I live. For it I die. Control over it, I have none. Control over me, all that's under the sun. Explanation of love; I have none. My knowledge is that: Without love there's no future. Because of love I have tomorrow. Ronald "Ron" WiMiams DREAM MOTHER I wanted to hear your voice, I wanted to feel your hand, I wanted to see your face. But you had moved to a separate land. I cried out for you mother, But you were no where to be found. I cried out for your love But you were never around. I prayed for a mother; A mother to be my friend. I discovered there was no mother Only a mere dream in the end. Everyone had a mother, -I had only a dream. And when I cried out to you, I never heard a thing. Did you have to leave? Did you have to go away? Oh, dear Mother, I truely needed you to stay. I woke up crying, You were near my bed. And the sounds of the love you gave Were going around in my head. Thank God I was only dreaming And none of this was true. Cause without your loving comfort I wouldn’t know what to do. Judy Ann Boddie YOUR FACE I remember your face for my hands have traced each angle And my lips have kissed each curve until those curves formed a picture in my mind. And if I should go blind tomorroe, your facial image shall remain behind the lids of my closed eyes. To: Gemini From: Libra NEVER AGAIN THE SHADOW The Shadow that you always see Is what I'd like to be. To follow you from day to day Without being in the way. From day break's ene 'till dusk retires With you I'd always stay. Through summer's heat and winter's cold, My loyalty wouldn't stray Along the road of life which goes 'Round curves; up hills; cross plains, I never ever will be free, 'Cause the shadow you always see. Is all I'll ever want to be. While traveling down life's lane. Carmen Ford I needed someone to make me happy, I needed someone to make me smile, I needed someone so kind and dear; Someone to make my living worth while. I needed someone to comfort me. When times were very bad. 1 needed someone to make me laugh. When others made me sad. I needed someone that had intelligence, I needed someone who knew the score. I needed someone that had ambitions, That wouldn't stand behind a closed door. Then one day when I was unaware You became a part of me. New to need someone like you Will never again have to be. Judy Ann Boddie 11 WORLD WAR II Prepare for the war, prepare for the war We have got to make preparations for the war. A war that will take many lives No matter how rich or poor, you will not survive. China, Russia, and the United States Are the main countries that will be involved in this terrifying mistake. The atom bonbs and hydrogen bombs and anti-billistic missies, will terrorize the cities Killing and burning and displaying no pity. The missies will be criss-crossing all over the globe from point to point And yet still some cat will be trying to drag off that last joint. Politicians will be squandering their time trying to cope Never impeding that dangerous hope. Niggers will be running and screaming like hell And all those rich honkies will be trying to escape, but will end up down there just as well. Everyone will attempt to flee to the fall out shelters But this will constitute another problem, because not everyone will be able to take cover. •' The television and the radio will have no time to broadcast the news Because all over the world, everything will be totally confused All the young children who can’t understand such a thing May God have pity on them and turn them into angels and let them fly away on their wings. The animals in the forest will die a horrifying death Because it will be the largest forest fire in the world, elevated steo by step. ^ RIBBON CUTTING—Chancellor Charles “A” Lyons, Jr. of Fayetteville State University (N.C.) officially cuts ribbon opening new Mitchell Pre-School Laboratory on the campus recently.

Lonely is being in a room filled with people, yet you’re all alone But-naw~that’s not all that lonely tis Lonely is sitting by the telephone hoping it’s for you Yet knowing no one knows you are truly alive Lonley is a thing that can deeply hurt-that’s no jive But still that’s not all that lonely tis Lonely is speaking to the person looking straight at you. But you know he doesn’t even see you-that’s lonely Lonely is awaiting the next dance, or social affair with no hopes Lonely is watching all others enjoying themselves and leaving you out But, no-that’s not all the lonely tis Lonely is being trapped in an elevator on the top floor-all alone Lonely is being the only one of the opposite sex, yet you go unnoticed Lonely is being on a deserted isle with nothing and nobody. That feeling you get after a love has gome-that’s lonely. How can such a small word cause so much pain. Naomi Smith il r
