Found Gangster Poem

Joseph Sciorra (February 9, 2010)

The following lines come from an email sent to i-italy.org editors who, in turn, shared it with me. The words are quoted verbatim and in the order in which they were written, but recontextualized here as verse.

I am very disappointed
I am praying you
You have to decide if
 
a true reflection
 

or rather be a marginalized
 
our Community

deprived you
precious
more valuable
 
I will be eagerly waiting
more importantly many others will
buried somewhere
