The Black Man's cry and the White Man's cry, <br />I am in St. Lucia peacefully with my mind; <br />But, why should their planes crah down the Twin Towers? <br />The Big Ship brought me here from Africa and, <br />I am now having time with my mind; <br />So hold me very close and never let me go. <br /> <br />Run away from the thunder and, <br />Take a cover under my care; <br />For i do have the silver plate and the diamond pin, <br />And the cover of my love is all that you need. <br /> <br />I am wasting no time to speak out my mind and, <br />Of the African land far away from me; <br />Because i am now in St. Lucia thinking about you, <br />And i am up on my feet to seek your love. <br /> <br />I will live on the day after tomorrow, <br />And of the judgements of the time to come; <br />But do think of the cry of the children around you, <br />For tue love is what eludes my people.<br /><br />Edward Kofi Louis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/st-lucia/
