Give Peace a Chance Part 2
Yet Africa is
expected to fall in
line
With speed and
alacrity
Or be headed back to
Europe

the heart
Of brutish Europe!

At Treblinka and
Auschwitz, brother
With their atomic
bombs in Hiroshima
With their...

People pass by and fly
We have only memories left
But we remember the sad ones
And easily forget the happy ones

With pens that write in blood—

Testament

And I was chained there
Nine months in darkness drinking blood
Longing for my resurrection from the tomb
Longing to break the chains
Holding me before my birth to a carnal earth

The Lynchings On Fox News

Within pallid seas, differed,
Like black buttons on a white cotton suit;
Sheep are color blind.
A bee is fine-looking,
But there’s fire in its ass.
Can the wild goat trust
The adder...
