Tears that flow like river, <br />Tears filled with pain, <br />Tears that attracts the stars at night, <br />Tears that brings the moonlight alive once more, <br />Eyes see no hope, <br />Tears that fell from Martin Luther King's face, <br />Tears that brought change to the society, <br />Tears from our late ancestors, <br />That are kept in our hearts, <br />Tears that fell for freedom, <br />Tears that fell for justice, <br />They fell so equality among human may exist, <br />Tears that brings together the brotherhood, <br />A negro speaks of peace, <br />Tears that need an end, <br />Waiting for an angel to deliver, <br />Somebody to wipe them off.<br /><br />Marlene Rashidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-negro-s-tears/
