Читать книгу Breathing Space - Harold J. Recinos - Страница 8

what will wake us today

to the ongoing darkening

of light across the nation,

to the ignorance moving

up and down the streets

battering strangers brown

like Christ the pale faces

say makes them diseased?

what will make us sick of

the suffering, the poisoning

hate, the neighbors quietly

becoming willing tools, the

broken bodies beneath the

weight of white power? how

long until we hear the crying

sounds of knotted throats, the

plain truth annihilated on city

streets, the blistering crosses

aflame and deaf to shouted pleas?

when will the country plot a

course to mercy, hope, justice

and peace?
