A call for the oppressors downfall
...Comfort wrapped in a blanket of security
Never fearing the chance of brutality
Only a freedom granted to those with fair skin
Greeted by the warmth of idiocy
Building a racist system of legacy

They fight for the home plate.
The bat and the ball,

The Blood Remembers
...In the shadow of Newark’s bricks and bones,
Where the pavement hums with moans,
Where mothers pray with open eyes,
And sons are born beneath gray skies—

...They said you’d never survive,
That there were complications with the pregnancy,
They told me it would be painful,
Yet they made you stay in my womb.

To hide their wrinkles?
Camouflage their age spots?

The Anthem of the Disenchanted

Engulfed in the smouldering dusk of a fractured nation,
A voice claws through the cracks of static screens,
And suppressed speakers,
A distorted hymn for the disenchanted,
A battle cry ...

Been deemed as not enough
Faces plastered and glued
With artificial, unnatural stuff
False eyelashes glued on
The length of camels plus some
Faces orange ...

As words
poured out
in hemorrhaged pleadings
No suture

clotting their flow
The nearer

the harder it pumped
In gushing

Water was sacred
either as a shower
squirted out of a sprinkler
on the backyard lawn
to run through and cool us
on hot summer days
or splashed from a font
