Poem: To Whom it May Concern

by Nick Ifeanyi Malu (New York, New York) ---

To Whom It May Concern

Who are you?
People of color.
Faded...
Negros,Blacks,African-American.
People of no color
colorless...
A faithful name ,fearful and chilling.
Millions born out of wedlock.
In a free world where free air are sold.
Swarming with exiles and refugees
Exiled to the first world ,America this.
The haves and the havenots
From the distant past,Africa.
A stranger to our root,
The second colonization.
Here ,our young smoke pot,crack heads.
Kidnappers let loose
Anarchy in my 'hood.
Factory of crises, gangsters hold sway
Killin' with impunity.
Lil' kids smoke like devil
Living in hellish hole
eyes sunken,brain damaged
heart as hard as the Brooklyn bridge steel.
The center of our bondage.
Who are you?
