john tiong chunghoo Poems

butterfly
never a noise over
its own beauty
...

bamboo grove
row and row of
uprightness
...

Langston Hughes
every verse peeling
the skin of discrimination
...

on the slippery back
of your remains
we roam the world
...

i say friend, look at the malay face
look at as many as possible
a wave of emotions
spilling from the mountains
...

the setback with
this racial thing
is too many men try
to have a hand in it
...

Isle Royale National Park
we walk in a pack to
avoid the wolves
...

April Cannon Beach
the sea lions too taken up
by the sights
...

a black president
to pull America
out of a dark tunnel
...
