Monique Mcdowell Poet Free verse

Black Suits

Sharpened minds 
Expert calculators
Critical analyst 
Motionless elevator

Crisp reports
Excellent speech
Suits black 
Skin impeached

Strength is Black 
Brilliant talent 
Commitment unsurpassed 
Removed from ballot

Work most requested 
Quality Observations
Families sacrificed 
Review of course unexpected 

Sharpened suits
Crisp reputation 
Strength consistent 
Powerless nation

August 18, 2008 at 11:44 AM I like the staccato feel of this poem. Interesting reflection--thought provoking. Though I will have to say nations have power if the people stand up for what it right. In that, there is always hope. Thank you for your kind words and congrats on my poem. Best wishes with your writing. Karen
