Interchanging Poetry, A New Poetic Genre
By Mac McGovern
Poetry is the absolute beauty of the human heart expressing emotion in a form that delights, and leaves the reader with a feeling of contentment in one spectrum, and a feeling of remorse in another. No other form of writing has the ability and power to inspire the emotion created through poetry.

"Cry Me Freedom" Beautiful faces wrecked with pain....
The pain of being stripped of the pride that carries the head high.....
The pain that weakens the once strong voice that would shout across the land for this I stand.....
The pain that closes the bright eyes that were open wide......
The same eyes to witness evil lurking behind sheets and fire riding through quiet streets....
The same eyes to view men, women, boys, and girls stripped of the right to live free......
The pain stretches beyond the limits of what the eye can see, moving the soul in places deep....
Rising frustration now screaming this word from city roof tops and open roads through valleys with no paved streets "Freedom" Tears now flowing in bitter relief, as the caged emotion is allowed release......
Slowly the once broken spirit captures a new breath of life.....
The back once bowed in misery, now upright as the spirit positions itself to take flight......
Mighty as the wind, this new movement spreads and a new vehicle is found to carry the lost.......
The new vessel has been boarded by some but welcome to all who will seek and dare the quivering belly of the weak......
Eyes open to never be closed to the freedom waiting in the bosom of the creative verse of a pen to loyally speak......
The pen moves writing the anguish of people overlooked and made to be the joke.....
Now every word a gripping piece of the sonnet, elevating the mind above color lines and barriers of the pockets dime......
Cry me freedom, I cry no more as the pen has begun to write a destiny of vision to open hopes door......

Quiet the voice of the hurtful...
Hide those sounds of words that hurt with or without determined purpose....

Rise like the Phoenix from the burning flames!
Rise like the mountain tops reaching for the sky!

Interview with Anthony Pathfinder – Author, proofreader, poet, reviewer and contributing writer for the Urban Book Source
The image of the aggressive-looking African American male, who cannot spell his name, has a limited vocabulary and has trouble keeping a job has become -- sadly! – common in the media. However, there isn’t too much said about those who not only speak proper English, but are committed servants of the written word, being an inspiration for us all.
