A poem that you will enjoy to the soul.

When a black child  starve, a black man cries

When the refrigerator is empty, the stove is unused

When the stomach is empty, the mouth will quiver

When a job is not found, the bills go unpaid

When a black child starve, a black man cries

When the river is dry, the tongue stick out

When the pen doesn’t write, the words goes unwritten
