Been Here Long Time

Poem: Been Here Long Time
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: February/2014


Been here long time,

Thirty five thousand 
years
before Christ -

My skin is black,
my hair is locked -

I wear a robe 
made from
sacks -

the same
for my
shoes -

I'm known as the
Jomon -

Been here long time -

I was the first
to enter 
the 
Japanese islands,

and
China too -

I've been 
everywhere -

My skin is black -

Been here long time -

Thirty five thousand
years
before Christ -
