Black Poetry : Me & MLK In The Library

[Hunter]

6th grade

I first read his
Black poetry
So eloquently
He rhymed
About
Boycotting buses
In Montgomery

His tongue spelled
Civil disobedience
Like Ghandi

And I
Obeyed
The letters
From a Birmingham Jail

6th grade

Never knew
Skin color
Could summon
D-cells

And

Poetic
Prophetic
Legacies
Of black
Piercing eyes
In search of

6th grade

Me
Reading him
Him reading
Me
History

Memorial

To a black man
Still standing
On the edge

Of eternity
