Beautiful revolutionary thought from Alice Walker
Snaps! I dig it. And I were president... I would open all the borders and let the world in...
i find this poem, in the style of slam poetry and reminiscent for me of some of ferlinghetti'w work, entertaining and, sadly, still so true of contemporary america though it was written years ago. -gk
A thoughtful write of what the US might be like with a different kind of light instead of those that of create blight?
excellent poem // but If I were a president I would do as usual.........................! ////
A very good poem-.-. wishes expressed in a fine way. tony
hehehehe..... corporations purchase the next election then it would be who then? ? ?
this is not a poem…in fact most of alice waker's 'poems' are not poems. these do not speak to me, nor do they touch me, intrigue me or mean something. to all of you who look at these poems and believe they have some deep and revolutionary meaning, think again. all this stuff it just sounds like political nagging and complaint, and frankly its tiring me. just because she has some sort of an important name does not make her every product a piece of art. wake up people! think for yourselves for a moment, if i told you that her poems were made by a five year old you would not take it seriously right? so why act as if these are master pieces? ? they're not! i like poems, i love it when they are smart, rhyme, cute, or sad, painful, depressing or even modern poems i don't mind, but this… this is ridiculous.
Low Law, This is a very interesting comment. I understand. Remember when you have a name, anything that you write is a masterpiece, even if it does not merit it. Michael Jackson, Robert Frost Kanye West, Trump and many other famous celebrities can be used as examples. I understand. Unfortunately, this is how it is.
Dear Alice, at present you cannot be shopping anymore in NEW DELHI, India because of the pollution up there. Breathing will be a problem for you. Thank you so much for this most valuable poem I ever read and accidentally on Valentine's Day. A very Happy Valentine's Day for you, dear Alice. God's Blessing be always with you! SFC.
