Tanya Jenkins Poet Prose Poetry

Where Are Kings

GHETTO GIRL
ROUND THE WAY CHICK
CHICKEN HEAD
Titles that you use to define us
Your queens
The source of your bloodline
Lineage
Where are our kings
Who use to honor there
Queen
Are we so lost from our heritage?
What is it gonna take
To get our attention
AIDS
HIV
HOMOSEXUALITY
9/11
SUICIDE
OPPRESSION
RECESSION
GENOCIDE
Our spirits are
Polluted with disease
DIS-EASE
We better get on our knees
Oneness of mind
Body and spirit
Giving praise to the highest
(OUR GOD)
