Shame on You
by Agnès Wittmann
Shame on you America
to let those babies die.......
they are Black........
Shame on you America
For all the Elders,
Respectfully hidden under blankets,
i guess, they are Black.....
Shame on you America
For the desperate Shipwrecks,
starving shadows
trying to get attention
from every helicopter passing around.....
They are Poor, they are Black
Shame on you America
For sending the cops
With guns and weapons
shooting on hungry people:
Yeah, they for sure are criminals
because THEY ARE POOR!
Those pictures we have seen
on every television around France
on every television around Europe......
and they will never be forgotten!
volume 9(6)
