Poetry Corner: Lift Every Voice and Sing by James Weldon Johnson

Lift Every Voice and Sing By James Weldon Johnson [Excerpt]   Lift every voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us. Facing [...]

Poetry Corner: “Malcolm” by Sonia Sanchez

Malcolm by Sonia Sanchez (Excerpt)   Do not speak to me of martyrdom, of men who die to be remembered on some parish day. I don't believe in dying though, I too shall die.

Poetry Corner: Julian Assange & Mega-Media

JULIAN ASSANGE  AND MEGA MEDIA by Chan Mongol https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/julian-assange-and-mega-media/ We are as same as Julian Assange, in this age; We bring up truths against their lies, days after days.   But Julian Assange is in the prison and we are not; We are unpopular but in their attention, Julian was caught!   Same minded people are all over, everywhere; They picked up one Julian to start another type of war.   Julian got [...]

Poetry Corner: Shallow Roots by Michael Novick

Shallow Roots by Michael Novick [excerpts] I have shallow roots in the blood-soaked soil of Turtle Island. My father arrived from Bialystok in the '30s, in his teens. There are no Americans in my genes and my genes are in no Americans. My non-biological grand-daughter was raised in Europe and has become a Swede, married to a Swede, with two lovely Swedish children. I am glad she didn't have to grow up [...]

Poetry Corner: The Legacy by James Connolly

The Legacy by James Connolly "Thy father is a poor man," -- mark well what that may mean, On the tablets of thy memory that truth write bright and clean, The father's lot it was to toil from earliest boyhood on, And know his latent energies for a master's profit drawn. Or else, ill-starred, to wander round and huckster-like to vend His precious store of brain and brawn to all whom fate [...]

Poetry Corner: The Decline of Patriarchy

The Decline of Patriarchy and the Rise of Feminine Energy by Jackie Lopez   The rose above my head has blossomed and says, “Speak your soul to me.”   The patriarchal aliens have left the planet.
