[release]Black as night, dark as day
All the Africans come out to play.
The children sing, the men pick cotton
And tell of a culture soon forgotten.
They tell of Okonkwo, a man of great power
How he had watermelon and yams that would not sour.
They tell of the crackers and this Jesus guy
who would teach them all of the chickens they could fry.
Yet Okonkwo fought back
Cut off the white man's sack.
As things fell apart, he hung by a rope
The first lynching, and the end of all hope.[/release]
[I]Based on the book[/I] Things Fall Apart [I]by author Chinua Achebe[/I]
Not this again.
Yes this again. It's still sitting in my back pocket, with my other pictures.
This is genius poetry! IT NEEDS MORE STERYOTYPES AND OFFENSIVE MATERIAL!
try to not subscribe to clichés
A silly poem based on a silly book. Nothing out of the ordinary here. You have offensive black stereotypes, you included fictitious statements about the content of the book, you have graphic imagery depicting castration, and as dude2193 said, your diction is loaded with clichés.
Oh I love it, not just the poem itself but the controversy it creates. This thread is going to rock.
