#100PostsIn24HrsForAAPIHeritageMonth - 10 - A Short Verse Poem For Jeremy Lin + Lin On Having A Strong Voice For Asian Americans

Sunday, May 24, 2015

Before the free verse, a link and a quote from a great article down at Asia Society by Tim Lau:

I'm very proud of who I am and my heritage so I have no issues answering questions about it. Early on it was frustrating when I felt like no one cared about my basketball play and only about my ethnicity, but as I get older I appreciate the fact that I have a unique voice and perspective. I hope to eventually be a strong voice to the world on behalf of Asian Americans.

And Now For The Free Verse

Oh Jeremy,

Jeremy,

Jeremy,

Wanderer,

Warrior,

10,000 Lake Laker,

Where Will Thee Yonder Play?
