The Web Poetry Corner - Ronald G. Auguste - DO NOT PRETEND TO KNOW MY RACE

DO NOT PRETEND TO KNOW MY RACE

by

Ronald G. Auguste

(For Rev. Joseph Lowery)

Do not pretend to know my race,
When you don't even know my face!
How can you know the way I feel?
Though I am down, and out at heel,
I'm still as cold and strong as steel!

You've told your tales,
Which labeled me a paragon of savagery.
Yet you revile my noble black,
While I am pinioned to the rack, of your abuse,
To satisfy your savage urges!

No matter how you try,
You cannot break me, and I will not die!
