Listen Children


Listen children
keep this in the place
you have for keeping
always,
keep it all ways


We have never hated black


Listen
we have been ashamed
hopeless tired mad
but always
all ways
we loved us


We have always loved each other
children all ways


Pass it on

Written by Lucille Clifton (1936-2010)
