| America If the eagle be imprisoned On the back of a coin And the coin is tossed into the sky, That coin will spin, That coin will flutter, But the eagle will never fly. ---------------------------------------------- Thought Lord, how I wept when I came upon a land whose people thought that they could make boats sail the stormy ocean between the color of my skin and my humantiy. Dumas (african american poet age 33 , died '68 in a harlem subway, killed , mistaken identity) ------------------------------------ Thought One of the greatest roles ever created by Western man has been the role of "Negro." One of the greatest actors to play the role has been the "Nigger." --------------------------------------- Thought Hate is also creative: it creates more hate. ------------------------------------------ Thought I flew into the country of the mind and there my wings froze I fell. Thought sculptured me in stone. Dumas |
