Our Father

Our father who art in heaven
let your will now,
your will be done!
to us African
the black race
who are,
fallen from your grace
our fate and date
interlaced
despite where we dwell and differ
our place
we all in this
similar mess

Blind leading the blind!

Self appointed cattlemen
leading the flock they capture
from what could be …
a green pasture
to the top of a cliff …
way upper
down to its bottomless pit
with an iron rod …
Ruling over with a false defeat

The flock
migrated from the core..
of their very existence
to an unknown obscure-ness
to a nuisance

of the world
that is tired of the infomercials
another poor child
licking an empty barrels
a blind lead the blind
from the land of quarrels
to an empty hand
