Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
was one of my earliest heroes
inspirations upholding beliefs;

I honoured cherished loved;
as was Mahatma Gandhi
Nelson Mandela reformers;

prophet guides path finders;
mapping important pivotal journeys
sacred freedom visionaries;

I respect all their lives trials;
doubts errors misdirections
realization ultimate triumphs;

I respect all their lives were gifts,
focused upon not always but usually
centred around only one major social

issue, time possibility dictates
choice, we must choose primary
and secondary goals, which will

define our personality, lives,
with years of sacrifice resolutions
to resolve change what we

may, leaving others the legacy
of caring for, maintaining
resolving that which we in our

The Best Poem Of Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Maya Angelou: A Phenomenal Woman?

Me thinks much ink
has been spilt
over the poem;
‘Phenomenal Woman’
by Maya Angelou.

Me thinks it is time
I stuck my oar in
had my say;
hopefully in a far
less controversial way.

So I ask all these supposedly
expert men who
read read read her poem;
then see red red red
who is Maya Angelou?

A Phenomenal Woman?

And to a man these reds do not know?

Do they also not know
that it is personal choice;
which poems poets writers we like?
All have differing tastes
all are entitled to their opinion!

Have they never heard
Maya Angelou recite one of her poems?
It brings a smile to my lips my eyes.
I receive Maya’s performance with pride?
It seems no one nobody does it better?

So again I ask do you know?
Who is Maya Angelou?
A Phenomenal Woman?

Wow what odds would you give
on Maya Angelou, a young
African-American girl
ever achieving?
Phenomenal success?

Maya Angelou had her baby
at age sixteen?
She left home at age sixteen
as a single mother?
This is a very hard road in which seeds
of success could never be sown?

At age three and a half
Maya’s parents divorced.
