Maya Angelou Fear Poems

  • 1.
    We, unaccustomed to courage
    exiles from delight
    live coiled in shells of loneliness
    until love leaves its high holy temple
    ...
  • 2.
    When I was young, I used to
    Watch behind the curtains
    As men walked up and down the street. Wino men, old men.
    Young men sharp as mustard.

  • 3.
    A Rock, A River, A Tree
    Hosts to species long since departed,
    Mark the mastodon.
    The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
    ...
  • 4.
    We, this people, on a small and lonely planet
    Traveling through casual space
    Past aloof stars, across the way of indifferent suns
    To a destination where all signs tell us
    ...
  • 5.
    There is no warning rattle at the door
    nor heavy feet to stomp the foyer boards.
    Safe in the dark prison, I know that
    light slides over
    ...
  • 6.
    Petulant priests, greedy
    centurions, and one million
    incensed gestures stand
    between your love and me.
    ...
  • 7.
    When great trees fall,
    rocks on distant hills shudder,
    lions hunker down
    in tall grasses,
    ...
  • 8.
    Tremors of your network
    cause kings to disappear.
    Your open mouth in anger
    makes nations bow in fear.
    ...
  • 9.
    A Rock, A River, A Tree
    Hosts to species long since departed,
    Mark the mastodon.
    The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
    ...

Zeb Nicklin: Birds have wings suppressed so sings
depressed and leans on Bill Withers & Sam Cooke ilk
that A change gonna come before too long
same old song rhythm & blues diff day same issues
Let it be open the door aint no words of wisdom
you lining u the prisons
Listen to Bob & see Stevie innervisions!

Poem of the day

Robert Service Poem
Golden Days
 by Robert Service

Another day of toil and strife,
Another page so white,
Within that fateful Log of Life
That I and all must write;
Another page without a stain
To make of as I may,
That done, I shall not see again
Until the Judgment Day.
