SORRY,LANGSTON HUGHES
"I,Too,Sing America"
and i will not shoot black
people
nor drop bombs upon others
nor claim
self-righteousness
Yet,this germ of free speech
lives
sans guilt,sans guns,sans
doctrines
improvising morning ballades /evening
psalms
for the gods and goddesses who fail
us
Mown grass,illegal weeds,police
violence
We pay twice.I do not defer to
violence
"A bomb is a failed
conversation"
"A bullet a failed poem"
Every line of birdsong redeems
us
Extending peace on our only Earth
home.
