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
