The red leaves The brown bricks The orange clouds The yellow sticks The evening hues Illusion kicks in blended reality My mind’s tricks Make me feel Nature’s magic mix. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
mix
MIX UP
White men complain
Of losing their women
Black women complain
Of losing their men
White women complain
Of losing their men
Asian men complain
Of losing their women…
From race to race
Place to place
Everyone is sure
Everyone is impure
I guess we’re all lost
I guess we’re all found
I guess we’re all free
I guess we’re all bound
I guess we all complain
I guess we’re all afraid
I guess we all know
How best to get laid.
– Che Chidi Chukwumerije.
