The Downtrodden
Another man has passed away, Another soul has passed away without casting a silhouette. Another son is growing into another man, Who will one day pass away like all those before him.

The Downtrodden Speak
I am baffled, stunned, dumbfounded Completely nonplussed by the persistence Of the international criminal court In harassing the popularly elected Kenyan President and his popularly elected deputy As rogue entities terrorize Eastern Europe The Arab World and my beloved Africa All around us people are being beheaded Or otherwise massacred on a whim Innocent people who would, if free, Choose...
