Kindred Kind
KINDRED KIND
by
Rick Folker
We need prophets and poets
Poor people, lost people
Raising their voices
In Rage
We need Feminists
Fearless Gays, Forces of Freedom
Ready to
Engage
We need Blacks
We need Browns
Burning with your
Fundamental
Faith
We need the Unsung Young
And the Yellow-Red tongue
Yelling down
The rising tide of
Hate
We need Torturous Truth
And Towering Hope
Talking back to power
Slinking from the
White privilege
Haze
We need you, we need me
To seize the scepter
Of shouting supremacy
Something
That just might sound;
Soulfull
Selfless and just simply
Sane
