The Laws of Motion Comments

Sometimes I want to touch you and be touched in return. But you think I'm grabbing and I think you're shirking and Mama always said to look out for men like you- very good poem. tony

Such a great poem by Nilki Giovanni👍👍👍

An inert object! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

An interesting write. This poem rights no wrongs but hangs itself on motion and inertia. I would like to see more introspection in this narrative poem. There is no point in accepting, as the last stanza does, inevitability. Inherent racism must be tackled head on. It is ignorance. We are all related as humans.As should all ignorant inequalities.
