It Have Come Down To This

Annie Lander I never took notice of Aunt Jemima photo as exploitation Nothing racial or stereo types (did you)? All I remember was the sticky bottle on our kitchen table, next to a stack a sack of pancakes or bakes : I wonder who going to take her place Would it be Rachel Ray, or the pioneer woman? Black lives matters movement is cleaning house of justice and the rats behind the walls is surfacing: Would poems about Negros race be erasing? The things we fear most will come upon ya! Are we making appointment with another riots-- plus death? Have we any ideas who is attacking our souls It's like what the Spanish proverb says – **"Drink nothing without seeing it; Sign nothing without reading it." Quote :** When words go blind Tracing one ideas Would be so hard to recalled Through darkness one will fumble Leaving a life of consequences Visionless: we cannot save them from the angry wind
