Shining black moon <br />Thrilled with teeth <br />Come to our shores <br />Of gold and grief <br />Ashanti boy <br />Loving his books <br />Passing good grades <br />And clothes on their hooks <br />Submissive but sure <br />Goals in his sight <br />Shining black star <br />His tutor's delight <br />clutching his Bible <br />Posting his wages <br />Part time in burgers <br />And cleaning out cages <br />Achieving his aim <br />Professional job <br />Turning up early and <br />Earning a bob <br />He never seems tired he never gets fat <br />And people suspicious.... <br />How did he do that?<br /><br />Yvonne Rautenbach<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ashanti-boy/
