Top 500 Poets
"Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason."
-- Abraham Joshua Heschel
One day our descendants will think it incredible that we paid so much attention to things like the amount of melanin in our skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the unique identities of each of us as complex human beings.
~ Franklin Thomas
"I have no color prejudices nor caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. All I care to know is that a man is a human being, and that is enough for me; he can't be any worse."
-- Mark Twain
We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.
-- Martin Luther King, Jr
the racist
among top 500 poets
he hides his face his ugliness
of race resurfacing
among dead and living poets
hideously as Dr Jeckyl and Dr Hyde
personality
moronic demonic monstrosity
hides in the blanks
within a poetic planetarium
an australian binary
as numbers mocking
knocking down
the august pillars of poetry
in poetic pretentious finery
the racist hiding his agenda
behind the lofty titles
empty worded poems
sold as second hands goods
in poem hunter haberdashery
dedicated to a very fine mother , grandmother , a great poet
among the true top 500 -marci made
