The World Tonight Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

The World Tonight



The World Tonight

We were creamed colored sons/dark daughters
We were dusty, lusty skins,

We came from the nights unknown,
There were no names on the star,

Nor with withal descriptions for our fallen/unknown kingdoms,

Born from sassy lands, sassy miscalculations,
Once in the fair moon of a distant sky,

I never forgo language usage we were poor,
Distant relatives,
Forgotten fathers and bigot mothers,

Discriminated sons and daughters,
Of forgotten nomenclature from a distant songs,

The world was once chaos, once shops,
We sang dirges for ages, we duggedmore graves than we can remember,

We dance to the floors of diabetes, arrhythmia, and cancers,
Dead hospitals and frozen corpses,

We assures, pretends, and assumed on hope and salvations,

This is a song, this is the world tonight,
