 || **Racism has a human heart....** ||  ||   ||

||  || Racism has a human heart, An artery of cruelty & death, It has blood of anger, & evil…, Has a force of pain & antipathy.

Racism has a human mind…. An Intellect of terror & delusion, Has an emotion of extreme savage Imagination of vile ideas, macabre.

Racism has a human mouth, It has tongue of torture, depravity, Many teeth of brutal incision & kill Has a lip of sorrow, hate & death.

Strange Fruit

//Southern trees bear strange fruit, Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze, Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant south, The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth, Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh, Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck, For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop, Here is a strange and bitter crop.// -Billy Holiday
