Poverty make do food for the family

Joe
by Henry Burt Stevens
8//8/2004


My friend Joe
tells me stories


About milk and bread
being a complete meal


No honey, just
milk and bread


Cornbread on Sundays
special, no left-overs


And walking on
the railroad tracks


Though far away
but same age


I hear him
i know, i know

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
