Mine like dusk.

of a certain end.

The other, the end of a
sure beginning.

from Passing Time”

“The gold of her promise
has never been mined

Her borders of justice
not clearly defined

Her crops of abundance
the fruit and the grain

Have not fed the hungry
nor eased that deep pain

Her proud declarations
are leaves on the wind

Her southern exposure
black death did befriend

Discover this country
dead centuries cry

Erect noble tablets
where none can decry

"She kills her bright future
and rapes for a sou

Then entraps her children
with legends untrue"

I beg you

Discover this country

from America”
― Maya Angelou, Oh Pray My Wings are Gonna Fit Me Well

“He badder than death
yet gives no sweet
release.”
― Maya Angelou, Oh Pray My Wings are Gonna Fit Me Well
