Tribute to Lucille Clifton (1936-2010) an American Poet

 

in the summer

of my years i wrote

they said someone in D.C.

might care

they had rioted there

because black oppression had

been too great

the great cities had gone up

in flames

for black men and women

have been duped about their freedom

the voice of Solomon Northrup

had risen from the grave
