Thoughts she thought about a lot. This poem to me is one of her best. The list of names, is what others at one time were considered to be nice, but trash. We can learn a lot from this poem, as I think she tried to teach us in her bold way!!!
Nice people
Are those
Who do
What nice people
Are supposed to do,
Of course.
Everybody knows that!
If you are nice
You are supposed to.
Common people
Are those who
Are not nice people
Because they do not.
Besides,
They are poor.
And in addition
They are infested
With ignorance!
Jesus
Homer,
Chaucer
Shakespeare
Dostavsky
Dickens
Clemens
And Martin Luther King
Knew
These things to be
True
And so do you,
And I.
In a word,
They are poor
White trash
And nice people
Are not supposed
To care about but
For them.
