Taifas Literary Magazine no. 3, 2020, September

Bhagirath Choudhary

Earth is ever afflicted

Cruel wounds inflicted

By racist indignity

And haughty insanity

The terrible arrogance

And the dark ignorance

Racism creates violence

Without human conscience

God made man

In His own Image

Man must behave

Like a kindly wise sage

The scourge of racism

Stands against Humanism

Manhandling human dignity

It even defiles

Godly creation's divinity

Science says

With evidential emphasis

Man must learn

From DNA analysis

Which declares

With ample reasons

That all men

Are distant cousins

The Racism

Ishak Yusuf Oyetunji

Ween how it perishes

Into thin air in space

Evanescently in eye -

Twinkling like curmur

Flatulated in windy hice;

The proverbial smoke

For thy sweat be ocean

Waves and evaporates

Turns dark billow pelting

The sky when about to

Sleet endlessly in comfort,

Snow of solace upon thy soul

Poke the firewood

Spare no time to joke

Hold tightly it to poke

Rummage the embers

Smouldering, tempting

To glow in the tripod,

Yearning to peck the lift

Ready to race and blow

Poke, breeze the smoke

Till it smiles, rages higher

The flame of thy flair

Hit the heat, be drowned

In thy incessant sudor

Drop your racism

And your naked fascism

To let humanity

And everyone breathe.

The poem is dedicated to the memory of last known victim

of the racism, George Floyd, whose last words were "Please let

me breathe"

It shall sleet cat and dog

Quench the torment flame

Erode the sufferance away

Mid flood and tornado

After which whole world

Shall converge to mirth with thee
