I have as much right As the other fellow has To stand On my two feet And own the land. I tire so of hearing people say, Let things take their course. Tomorrow is another day.

Muricio For All Ages ANJANDEV ROY Rivers And Streams Brown mbadiwe 20 May, 2025 Tuesday POEM OF THE DAY The Alphabet The letters of the Jews as strict as flames Or little terrible flowers lean Stubbornly upwards through the perfect ages, Singing through solid stone the sacred names. The letters of the Jews are black and clean And lie in chain-line over Christian pages.

These words, this burning bush, this flickering pyre Unsacrifices the bled son of man Yet plaits his crown of thorns. Where go the tipsy idols of the Roman Past synagogues of patient time, Where go the sisters of the Gothic rose, Where go the blue eyes of the Polish women Past the almost natural crime, Past the still speaking embers of ghettos, There rise the tinder flowers of the Jews. The letters of the Jews are dancing knives That carve the heart of darkness seven ways. These are the letters that all men refuse And will refuse until the king arrives And will refuse until the death of time And all is rolled back in the book of days. ... by Karl Shapiro Read Poem POEM OF THE DAY - MODERN POEM Four In The Morning Cried the navy-blue ghost Of Mr. Belaker The allegro Negro cocktail-shaker, "Why did the cock crow, Why am I lost, Down the endless road to Infinity toss’d?
