…………………………………………
“the rhythm of my neighborhood
grips me fiercely
holds my thoughts without concern
fills me with sounds and smells
fried fish and bbq
car horns and crusted speech
a mumble of slang and curses
we bow to each other to get out of the way
of shots fired
or to point the way
to block parties and the park
the roars here may feel more violent
than wild animals
but it's all in the sound”

She Is…
Dedicated to the women in the brothels of Kolkata, India
Sold off like property
Trafficking jams possibilities
She is going nowhere.
Smiles cover faded beauty
Sex as commodity seems a sense of duty
Society labels her prostitute, yet who is she?
… She is a mother.

concerned only with “the dolla”
seeing green but I see red

our hearts minds soaked in red /permanent/deep
they are sacrificed for us to live... ©Leah Jackson

Freedom cried through Sojourner all the way to Harriet Tubman Suffragettes and many a men…
Harriet brought them hell the proof in her legend which despite the lack of all other Blacks his story had no choice but to tell …so what can I give that they haven’t nothing but the birth of a nation through womb or mind
‘cause…I be worth while rather or not the result of egg and sperm combination I leave
