No! You should know me <br />tears and torn torsos <br />Heralded your dawn <br />Built your city <br />Under the eye of the sun <br />But you push me into <br />The wombs of dusk <br /> <br />Ask! I conjured the berth <br />That carried the bed <br />Of your lustful ancestors <br />You were <br />But a mere thought <br />In the bossom of heated loins <br />I am your threshold <br /> <br />You know me! <br />Wailings of my fathers <br />Should hunt your nights <br />And cast a hue on your days <br />Charred skin and clipped lips <br />Ripples of blood <br />From the fury of your whips <br /> <br />Ah! You still don't know me? <br />I am your eden <br />You are my hades <br />And when before my sight <br />Your nation shall bow <br />I shall whisper; <br />You are white, I am black.<br /><br />muideen olawale jimoh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-don-t-know-you-8/
