Political Poem: Prolific Prophet, by Taylor Palomares

Amiri Baraka
Said, Malcolm X
Was a ‘Fire Prophet’
Much like
Martin Luther King
Junior Had a dream

Equality
Stemming from young Kings
Righteously fighting for
God-given, Birth-given, Earth-given
Rights

A King at Birth
No matter the skin tone,
God placed us on this Earth
With no assigned rank at first

From beginning to immortal ‘ends’
All will joyously hail the most prolific kings
Of all time.
