By: Cedric McClester Sankofa, looking back To go forward The past is a fact We can’t ignore it Nine-Eleven happened On somebody’s watch Because the intelligence Was ignored or botched Like laundry Dirt comes out In the rinse Through the quandary We’ve been safe ever since That doesn’t erase what happened Apparently Someone was napping People hate it When I name the names They debate it And play mental games So I won’t pin the tail On the donkey Or mask it By being too wonky For the sake Of my argument If it takes Me having to relent By not pointing An accusing finger My avoiding Will make the thought linger Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2015.
