Poems
Jun 2020
Color Schemers
Arab Traders excavated
Europe poured the foundation
The New World perfectly framed it
Rest of the races, the finishing touches
This …
Inordinate economic concupiscence
Animated by a violent passion
An extraordinary alteration
And…
Nature convulses
Human dignity reduced to
Color: Black, white, brown, yellow
So ...
The gales storm in
Tearing through, uprooting
Sham of a foundation
Then …
The scale corrects itself
The clock resets
The scheme falls apart
Because …
There is only one humanity
It’s you.
It’s me.
This poem is in response to George Floyd's death and Injustice suffered by people of African descent
