Black History Month Spotlight: Poetry
Black History
Being black isn't history -
only a courageous act
by a person of color
that gives people pause
causing them to remember.
_______________
Pigs Flew
Pigs finally flew
over the moon, surprising
all Americans.
Is the president black; or,
am I seeing a mirage?
________________
Civil Rights No-No's
Before the Civil Rights Movement
There was no sin
No justice
No equality
Only people wondering
How long another race
Would reign supreme
