Notes About The Poem

Original Sin

America's original sin
                    The vile, great sin called racism
                         Stinking like a fetid corpse
                              Corrosive like acid
                            Such poisonous hate
                               Why is it taught?
                                   A low down
                                      Crying
                                      Shame
