Hear My Drums

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Don't/Cha Hear My 
Drums
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: September/1995

Mr. Charley
don't/cha hear my drums?

Boomboom che-boom
che boomboomboom -

Ain't they beat'n
strong?

Boomboom che-boom
che boomboomboom -

See my hands, 
slapping
my drums
like 
my ancestors
 did -

Look 
into my eyes,
my drums
are
 my people -

Dancing to 
the rhythm 
of peace
and 
freedom -

Boomboom  che-boom
che-boomboombooom -

Mr. Charley,
ain't they beat'n
strong?

boomboom  che-boom
che boomboomboom -
