Yehualashet Teshome Poems

For the deceit
For the illusion that I lived
For the maya
I believed was true
...

Been a fool all along
Worshipping your god
Blue eyed, blond angels
Made in your image
...

Eternal return
Born in 1955,
When I die
And come back,
...

Mutual understanding
No need to say it
We showed love
Pure affection
...

Prayed for years
Begging for mercy
No matter what I did
And then I wondered
...

I woke up
Greeted by the new sunny day
The universe smiled
Happy to see me back
...

Go to hell, pastor
I spoke with God
He told me that you were a chronic liar
Because you told me
...

Hats off
To the manipulator, the predator
Sharp as a whip
Smart as a fox
...

Took Bruno, my dearest white friend, to Africa
Showed him around
Breathtaking scenery
Exciting lakes, rivers, and mountains
...

What is it that they hate and fear in us?
Big powerful black people
Strong in body and spirit
Taken down and humiliated
...
