Been Here Long Time
Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Been Here Long Time
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: February/2014
Been here long time,
Thirty five thousand
years
before Christ -
My skin is black,
my hair is locked -
I wear a robe
made from
sacks -
the same
for my
shoes -
I'm known as the
Jomon -
Been here long time -
I was the first
to enter
the
Japanese islands,
and
China too -
I've been
everywhere -
My skin is black -
Been here long time -
Thirty five thousand
years
before Christ -
