In the heart of Black people
L. B. Mek said:
inhumane, western profiteering policies
!EXASPERATED!
by spineless african leaders!
we need a new word for corruption
when unfurling africa\'s history;
from embattled kings
\'trading\'
in slaves of their own kin..
to modern politicians, who make
narcissism
feel, like an empathetic mindset...
the longer
we choose to ignore
those pathetic leaders in charge
while pointing fingers at the west
or the east or whoever
the longer
it will be before africa
can ever realise its potential..
\'change begins in our own mirror
and the windows within our reach\'

Black Skin is Not A disease

I think your poem was magnificent and my husband is black and I am white. Even being in a rural area I can see sometimes people who don\'t know him treat us differently. One sweet day, the color of our skin won\'t matter anymore. We are all brothers and sisters. Thanks for sharing!

Black Skin is Not A disease
L. B. Mek said:
onwards the fight, continues
one Gwendolyn Brooks
one Maya Angelou
one Nikki Giovanni
ONE! Nontsizi Mgqwetho
at a time:
\'My people, we’re stabbing Africa,
we kill our own through betrayal:
we court celebrity status,
honours for killing Africa.
When we trade our own people to whites for profit
we inflict a deep wound on Africa.
I’m not one to shy from saying so:
your public behaviour bears eloquent witness.
Oh dear! Dear, oh dear! The shame and disgrace of it!
We wither and perish for lack of a healer
and Africa’s forelegs sink deep in the quagmire:
we repeatedly stab her year in and year out.
Congress and all the successes we strained over,
education and all that we strove to achieve—
as we idly bicker we’re left in the dust
and Africa slips through our fingers forever.\'

Every Wind Carries A message
L. B. Mek said:
\'To \'a\' thousand generation\'s\' it has spoken\'
how very true, its language unchanged
yet our ears
now devoid of hope, no longer heed...
I read and learn wise Poet, thank you!

A cry of Black Man
Bella Shepard said:
The picture speaks so powerfully, as does your words. The tear trickling down his face, trickles from my heart as I read. We say that no one should suffer as you do, and yet we do nothing? Where is the ballot box that allows us a vote to save our humanity, our souls? An extraordinary piece of work, and rightly so. A fav for the courage and hope of a positive mind that you give.
