Just A Brotha Poem by Alvin Willis

Say what Say what—
Forget the hype
I’m no stereotype
Just A Tall, Lean, Bronze Brotha
Waiting for a fan

That will see my potential
Without racist denials
And no fake worded dribble
Even if I cannot SLAM dunk
Say what Say What—

To dream countless dreams
Without self-hesitations
Nor racial restrictions
I can….I will
Say what Say what—

I am what I am
With no regrets
Just a Proud, Determined, Strong Brotha
Waiting for a fan
Say What—
