Free Kenneth Foster
The struggle continues....
Who Am I?
My name is Lisa a.k.a. Poetry Soldierette. I am a big sister to Kenneth , I met Kenneth when I started reading up on his case, I was stunned with what I was reading, my eyes stung with fire and I knew I had to turn that fire into something positive for Kenneth. I contacted a friend of his and started communications with her and Kenneth. I decided to turn my poetry for him, which is sometimes written from his point of view, into a book for him. This book’s funds will be used for Kenneth’s defense fund, to combat the death penalty and a trust fund for his beautiful daughter Nydesha. My poems are sometimes fierce and very straightforward and they are not for the weak hearted. I’ve learned a lot about my style of poetry from Kenneth so much that he has now cloned me his "Twin". The book will be available for purchase soon and I am sampling my poems here for my brother, I have a very special bond with him and NO ONE will break it . I will fight this unjust system until my brother is free , free from being another murder victim of the State Of Texas.

with just a name
NYDESHA
cant hug or hold

to a world to cold
innocence with big brown eyes

but thinkin of how her
future
is built on lies
empty promises

bow your heads
for the fallen comrades
trying to get everyone

Poem For Kenneth
As I lay here watching the clock it was 1 and now it's 5'oclock
gotta get up I gotta write
about this fight to save Kenneth's life
man this shit is weighing heavy on my mind ,I cant believe your appeal was denied
My soul is soaring, now to get my voice roaring ,my hearts crying
my soul slowly dying my mind climbing thoughts runnin a mile a minute telling me to prepare myself for the hardest fight of my life..... the fight to save a man's life
Can it be this is my destiny your words push me to grab my voice
this justice system angers me what is it they can't see?
must I break it down for them to understand that forever in me this flame will burn, I need to use this anger to feed the fuel for this fight for you.
I sit here staring at your picture your eyes speak to my soul, your smile I wonder what it hides, what exactly's goin through your mind
I tell you my thoughts on this paper you tell me they move you that I've got the fire in me use it to fight deeply.
God what's goin on ?
My mind thinks this world is wrong, what about your daughter she'll never have her daddy I know someone will tell her just how beautiful and strong you are but I know forever her heart will be scarred
Chest out
Shoulders back , here we come to fight this fight never ever giving up or faltering Kenneth we love you baby...chin up don't let them break your spirit here comes the TRUTH TRAIN and we'll never give up let your fighter spirit take the upper hand be strong don't shed tears ans please no fears.
Abyss of Lies
my mind thinks the world is wrong
were fightin to end the death penalty
or state sponsored murder
does it bring closure no it pushes us further
further into an abyss of lies
yet still I rise
standing up to fight and make people see
death penalty is murder you see,
how is it right to kill when they haven't got a fight
my mind weighs heavy each and every night
with thoughts about the fight
the fight to end this injustice and educate the people
murder is murder
each night I pray God will listen to me and let them all go free
keep up the prayers from you and me.
and in my heart and mind you will always stay and never will I stop to end this cruel and unusual punishment.
rip hasan, and the many others who have died by the hands of another senselessly
keep your chin up
kenneth, gabriel, chuckie, rob, ghost, sarge, elijah and al the others keep up the fight keep god in your heart each and every night .

Wrong Place, Wrong Time
all YOU see is some man who YOU think deserves to die
well tell that to his wife and daughter as they cry
we fight the fight to end this injustice and all YOU do is criticize
How dare YOU judge an innocent man a victim of circumstance
WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME
and all YOU say is when does he die
I think YOU need to sit back and ask yourself WHY
WHY let an innoecnt man die
as each day his strong soul slowly dies
It's not fair for me to say i feel yor pain cause I'm not you
all I know is your name
I read yor case and know as I stare at your face
God has forgiven the race
for not supporting the cause
so lets all take a
pause..............................................................
A pause to pray this man is blessed
how the fuck can you judge him who made YOU GOD
and YOU know he is the only one who can judge
ANYONE.....
so when your time comes and your standing at the gate will YOU see
kenneth
or not purely because of your lack of knowlegde and your ill fated hate?
He's too strong for YOU to break his spirit look in his eyes as his
wife's
soul cries
no no no YOU will never ever know what its like for him
on this long ride called ....... DEATH ROW Remeber if your not part
of
the solution your part of the problem killing an innocent man solves
nothing
join us help free kenneth and combat the death penalty peace and love
brothers and sisters
Daughter's Eyes
When my daughter was by my side
not starin at me through this damn pane of glass
this is my heart, my soul and me as her daddy she may never know
Your so quick to judge me and say I deserve this but do your research
I happen to be an innocent victim of circumstance
I wonder who will explain it to her why her dadd's gone
all I can do is hope my love lies deep in her heart
even though were miles apart doin daddy things will never be she comes
HERE
to share her life with me
this girl is a beauty strong mind and will and when Im gone dont cry
just
look in my daughters eyes
Why?
I sit here starin at the floor & tellin myself I can't take
this
anymore
missin my life can"t see my wife damn I know i'm in prison but how can
they
take my life like I have no rights
I look to God for strength my soul is strong but I cant help but to
wonder
just for how long
It seems these guys are tryin to break my spirit
I know they don't believe I'm NOT supposed to be HERE
not for this many years waiting for the day they say they've come to
take
my
life
I listen when I pray; listening for some solace
I KNOW I am blessed I know my God doesn't want me to die not by the
hands
of
another especially if
THERE'S NO REASON WHY
Why do my eyes cry?
could it be cause i'm sittin here waiting to die?
waiting for Texas to take my life .
Payin the price for a crime I didn't commit and I'm innocent damn it
does Texas care? nah, they probably doesn't know I exist just another
black
man or should i say number on their list. my soul is soaring my voice is
roaring will anyone hear what I have to say
Will there be another day?
We have to come together in this fight find common ground
And by any means never let them pull us down
each day is so long sometimes I wonder where I went wrong
my life is here sittin, thinkin, livin this life of mine here on death
row
Together we gon fly
Rough two weeks
things lookin bleek
got the call today
from my girl
around the way
sit down she demanded
and I knew what she was gonna say
all I heard was date
and my soul filled with
cold hate
hate for this world
I felt my words bout to
unfurl
how can I go on
knowin this is wrong
fight harder
chest out shoulders back
man this shit is whack
im comin in swingin
no I aint just wingin
it
me and my girl goldie
she got a plan
to make this cold world
understand
the plight
that is to save my brotha’s life
he has a right
that will devistae
but just you wait
the knowledge
he pours
man will make yo mind soar
walk with me
or will that ever be
here I sit my mind heavy
eyes full
but still I gotta pull
through
and fight for
you
the pain my smile hides
cuts me like a sharp pointed knife
deep in the inside
my soul cries
I want to share the world with you
make it all better
come on twin
come in
show me the smile
vibe a while
cause no matter the weather
me an u
we gon fly
and rise
above the
fight
even if its only for a night
Save Kenneth Foster today
My brotha
I was blown away by the news I heard today
your appeal was refued,denied
so my twin for a while I just sat here heavy hearted
and cried
my mind running circles
my thoughts tryin they best to catch up
this hit me close to home
and to be quit honest
I am ready to pick a bone
man I just wanna be alone
with me and my thoughts
and I am trying to be modest
im bout to spit that poetry soldierette venom
word is spreading fast
time to gear up
for the fight of my life
and I will out shine and outlast
for your daughter and yo wife
how these people gonna play god
and take so many lives
with not enough voices to let them know what they
doing
man it ain’t right
my heart is breaking
my soul is aching
and now im tired of waiting
sit back
listen to the knowledge
I am gonna preach
wrong place
wrong time
texas don’t care
or else my brotha would not be
waiting to die
young black man
college and music
yes he had a masta plan
strong mind srong will
sharp mind sharp tongue
and never even touched the gun
I have gotten to know this man
and my heart goes out
knowing he might not get to walk
in the sun
tears are fallin
like a tiny stream
hiding my pain
so my fight is all you see
but brotha when I got the news today
my pain was so real
you see
truth train is comin
no matter how hard they try to keep us down
we here camoflage pants and all
we gon stand our ground
the justice system
has flawed
and so many have so much faith in the law
but what you gonna do when its you
or your loved one and they lose
im tryin to show you
this state sponsored murder
is makin me blue
I tried to tell ya before and ya acted like ya already knew
the news came to me today
my heart was so heavy
the tears were in force and I got a feelin this rage will only get worse
but know this my twin
ima fight my hardest to see that
you win
