POLITICAL Poem: MLK 2025, by Kangsen Masango

Today,
Lesser men sang a song of worship
and genuflected like syphilitic nymphs
to the ascension of a lesser god,
The Fetid Cow of Greed
crowned with the ferns
of the Order
rising with the storm clouds
of a broken nation’s ignorance
to clap thunder
and cast flames
on truthtellers
strangers
and the starving
so the White Church could scream, “hallelujah!”

but We do not burn!
