Harlem Renaissance Haiku

Near nice allies need to confront this beast in the moment to be brave. Not in a memoir when you’re 75 and few feet from the grave. For colored people and all people of color start a whining wave. Why do we still fight for the same civil rights of nineteen sixty-three? Did you know Comcast is fighting against the rights of Black and poor folks? Look it up yourself know what is going on around you find a cause to fight. Use your pen and voice raise your voice and write it down vote a righteous cause. Organize your block note differences and respect put judgement on pause. Let’s make it better you and I together to help correct the flaws.

Not going to happen where religious and political leaders are constantly preaching, "them against us!" Society must focus on what we share in common to progress. Aloha!

I agree. "Them against us," is a constant. As I tried to suggest at the end of the poem, we have a responsibility to ensure life works for all of us.
