<< 16. London: Chapter Formed 

Riverside Courthouse (Poem)

By G. K.

[Printer-Friendly Version]

Footsteps echo--
  while
    2,000 years of slave stained chains
  rattle--
    through baroque halls
  and
    gothic arched
    stained glass
  insanity witnesses perversions of reality
by badge wearing Bobsey twins
  who lie in stereo hi-fidelity monotones

Paneled rooms of neon
  glow with red-white-and blue shades of injustice
  reflecting frag-ment-ed truths
  on contradictions of
racist fear-ridden hypocracy----------

Say on---Brothers-------Say on
  Freedom is never free

(to Gary Lawton and Zurebu Gardner)   -- G.K.


"FREEDOM FOR ONE IS NOT ENOUGH, FREE US ALL, SAY ON!"
-- Gary Lawton
