In case you do not already know Seeing is Believing is coming up in a few weeks and along with my pieces (yet to be revealed on this site) I will also be reciting a couple poems of my own design. In that vain I thought I might post a few poems by other writers that I am quite fond of now and again in a new segment I am calling, LoveHate Poetry. I hope you enjoy this first installment.
*Warning: This poem contains imagery and language of a graphic nature. Basically what I am saying is, if you're lame... don't read it.
Feeling Fucked Up
By Etheridge Knight
Lord she's gone done left me done packed / up and split
and I with no way to make her
come back and everywhere the world is bare
bright bone white crystal sand glistens
dope death dead dying and jiving drove
her away made her take her laughter and her smiles
and her softness and her midnight sighs--
Fuck Coltrane and music and clouds drifting in the sky
fuck the sea and trees and the sky and birds
and alligators and all the animals that roam the earth
fuck marx and mao fuck fidel and nkrumah and
democracy and communism fuck smack and pot
and red ripe tomatoes fuck joseph fuck mary fuck
god jesus and all the deciples fuck fanon nixon
and malcolm fuck the revolution fuck freedom fuck
the whole muthafucking thing
all I want now is my woman back
so my soul can sing
