Poem for South African Women

...
And who will join this standing up
and the ones who stood without sweet company
will sing and sing
back into the mountains and
if necessary
even under the sea:

we are the ones we have been waiting for.


RIP June Jordan...

1. It's called using a poetic phrase. I knew it when he said it. He knew I knew. We all did.

This is called fake outrage.

It is as weighty as the air expelled from your desperate mouth.

2. I didn't know that cite; I've definitely heard it before, though

and was happy to hear him say it. I think some variation of it has been around forever (isn't it sometimes, you are the person you've been waiting for? or be the change you want to see, etc.).

7. So are you saying Obama supports apartheid?

Boy, what an empty suit that guy is.
