Best Tribe Poems

He emerged from gold lands, far and near,

only skin and bones, and windswept loam.

He forged through thistles, confusion and fear,

wore a river on his back, and a cloak of home

draped over his shoulders, into worlds unknown



Tears ran rivulets on the white man's ground

drenched with forgiveness,...

Invaded by the tribe

The old station wagon
Pulls to halt in my driveway.
The five children fall out 
of its rusted doors 
shouting and laughing.
She turns off the noisy engine.
Slips ghostlike from the drivers seat.
Her five hours of driving
In a bedlam of her children’s noise.
Looking so slight...

Thunder strikes only but once
Trust is like virginity it is lost only but once
But how do you forgive
When a human is not trusted
When Rwanda is a story by itself
How do you slash fellow humans?
‘’See those skeletons well arranged in shelves’’
“This is a family; those are...

Adam, take the dust and
blow into tomorrow's winter world
the intruding consciousness
is evolving, embroiling a vainity of values,
who are we now, why this
language of redemption ?
the truth hurts once we
were exhiled from God's perfect garden,
the roads behind are
cold and alone, its you and me against the...

Eve, this land is already populated,
peopled by persons who seem like us,
although diffetent too, like seasons in soul,
divergent in their dreams for dynasty,
they have dialects from a depth of  Dawn
that awoke long before we arrived to thrive here,
customs peculiar as shapes to stones,
Father never...

My future captures my imagination
as my past succumbs to memory.

I imagine winning this economic game
by competing with everyone
and continuing to win unsurpassed
to finally arrive at my goal
alone
no one else anywhere near my self-inflicted finish line,
behind locked doors within my own keyed-up competing mind.

Each day invites...

I know I belong to a group
That group is humanity group
And there every human being is

All humans are one by race
And by tribe or ethnicity
That race and tribe is humanity

Other animals have their group
Cattle tribe, Cat tribe, Fowl tribe
And there are many of these races

Do...

Tribe
~~~~~
The greatest hallmark of my sacred tribe
Is one of profound pride and an irresistible strength
To overcome any obstacle
Descended of Shoshone, Choctaw, and the motherland
From across the Atlantean ocean
Genealogy reveals a touch of Mediterranean and French
One glance speaks volumes a most favorable blend of DNA
Revered by...

Where there is strength
you will find unity.
Let there be no more division.
May the grandfather spirits
place forgiveness in your hearts, and soften them
while pride moves out of the way.
May the blood you share become strong
and never again be poisoned by
un forgiveness and hate.
Can't you hear the...

A Tribe of Trolls

A tribe of trolls escaped their cage! 
Now rabid wrath and rancor rage.
Hurling hurt from hidden hellholes
(most notably, their toilet bowls),
they flush their filth across your page …

Anonymity sets the stage
for word-“warriors” who rampage
as today’s internet unrolls
a tribe of trolls …

Let’s hail...

From a tribe called quest;
where we will never give up.
From a nation called hope ;
where we will never stop struggling.
From a region called Ifriqiya;
where the sun never stops shinning.
Part of a race called black;
where they striped our identity.
From a time in history;
where my race is...

Im staying in the circle of safe women at work.
Staying true to my comrades who've be railroaded by jerks.
There's a trail of tears and pain mingled in our ranks.
 We are teaching each other networking,
 for our survival and gain.
This tribe of our woman have...

I lost my whole family
So I took in a neighbor
I have paid, sold, washed, shopped, cleaned, and done for this neighbor more than anyone in his life has
His own children won't call him, 
but I do
His ex wife is dating his old friend
I continue to...

Before the black man's turmoil was his foster
And race amongst them was an imposter too
No wonder I grew to watch from a black and
White television set... from infancy to juvenile

Ages had past, each day break Ma got rinsed
Busking became a hobby... Never was I eager
To...
