FLORIDA POETRY
TO MY PREJUDICED BRETHREN
WITH LOVE
Yessuh!
I'm Black.
I'm the one ya call "nigger";
dat "coon"
dat "darkie"
dat sub human figure;
dat y'all despise.
I' dat po'one
Who y'all say ain't wise;
dat thuggish lil' rascal
Wit da mischievous eyes.
NOW LOOK AGAIN.
Yes, it's me ,
unshackled and free
I'm a man.
I'm a king.
You're no better than me.
We're equal;
So oppress me if you will,
but still
I shall proclaim
that your creation
was the same
as mine;
from dust we came
and to dust we'll both resign.
