Eulogy for Mandela
Mandela looks like the man
My brother pointed at and said:
“I’ll have him eat you if you are bad.”
I recall the Uncle Tom’s Cabin
The protagonist who was
His own antagonist
Shame
To you the Abrahamic believers
“Slavery is permitted.”
I am embarrassed
Embarrassed of what
I read, heard and remember
I never bought or sold
A toy, a black-slave
Feel proud to see them around
I admire opaque, Jaguar
The black eyes
The Shabdiz with Shiraz
