Aspects of Joy in a Strange Land
After Gwendolyn Brooks
There it was—
after twelve hours of ocean
and incandescent clouds:
sewn patchwork of color
beyond the portal
of a plane's window
Momentarily gone
—American melancholy
hovering so far from home
I was six—
a whimper amid adult dialogue;
my teacup tongue, rattling
against saucer lips—
unheard
Gaiety—
my father, statuesque ...
There it was—
after twelve hours of ocean
and incandescent clouds:
sewn patchwork of color
beyond the portal
of a plane's window
Momentarily gone
—American melancholy
hovering so far from home
I was six—
a whimper amid adult dialogue;
my teacup tongue, rattling
against saucer lips—
unheard
Gaiety—
my father, statuesque ...

You People
The Mexicans hated when the Spaniards and French said, "you people"
Native Americans learned to hate these very same words
The term was placed on a historic reel and ran like a sequel
Two innocent words placed together and wished that they were never heard
The Irish and Scots played with it amongst themselves until the English took a liking
Unless you've done your research, you don't realize that Africans sailed with Vikings
The English learned to hate the sound of these words while suffering under French rule
The French in turn learned to...

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
When is enough is a enough of the genuine lies, without the truth to navigate through the process of the lies.
🤨 For when is it enough when you continue, to stand by the Democrats and the demographics, of the false propaganda feeding you more lies. For sure when is enough that you finally learn how to use, your own thoughts and insight and mind. To find out for yourself really the TRUTH, just by DOING your Research in the archives. Section of your OWN Google app just by writing a NAME ?? FOR example of any anyone whoever, was into politics, from when they first started to up to...
