“The New world offered the vision of a limitless future that gleamed more brightly against the constraint, dissatisfaction, and turmoil being left behind. A promise genuinely promising”
According to the late writer, Toni Morrison
WELCOME TO
MY WORLD
I am presenting the work of African American literature. Poetry is a way to speak and express the work of our culture. African Americans are facing injustice and are taken into the hole of defeat because of the color of their skin. Art and literature together brings deep meaningful approaches on spreading the motivation and beauty of our people of color.

POEM OF THE DAY
Justice for George Floyd
Here we go
Once again
You killed and won again
Or maybe Justice will come
Now that's a hope and a passion that kept being denied
Battered us in crime
Mixed us into extinction
and yet we do the time
Here we go again
Now this time shot for dead
Choked and bled
Slammed to an end
Yet we hold this passion in a world with injustice
Yes, no justice
Left for nothing
In this world we are supposed to remain quiet
and let my family be in the risk of dying
In a murderous world and a nightmare that keeps us awake
and a tear that only dries
a last gasp of air…
But aye at least you survived
But for me
Surviving is an enterprise
