Die in Dark

If the sun sleeps and snores

I'll skulk by the shadows

And smooch the beautiful dark

I want to end in the night.

I wouldn't want to live

If the dawn visitor arrives

I wouldn't want to listen to tales

of This black woman, let me die.

I want to die in black garb

and reawaken with white suits

so that my humanity will be conceive

I want to drink brotherhood too.

Kilimanjaro 

You hunched uphill for years

feeling so proud of your children

who grazes on the flesh of her sisters,

Please kill me.

Splash me a Safari dirge

let me kill my thirst for black  life

because the drum beaters 

has lost their fate.

Let me die in black;

let me give birth to white children -

children who will know not greed

they'll not dine with chewing prayers

I want their necks to stretch to Asia.
