For the victims of racial attack in St Petersburg (2005)


A Lost Brother

Poverty stricken homes,
led our brothers away,
overseas there dream,
greener pastures they sought,
but sharp blades they met.

Kanhem Leon,
we longed for his arrival,
knowledge he sought,but
sorrows he brought home,

his "ebony skin " they despise

"The pale ones" did the job,
five or six of them
dressed in dark clothings and black hat,
stabbed him twice.



WHY THE VIOLENCE?
ISN'T THE MILLONS OF PEOPLE AT
"HOME" THAT DIE OF DISEASES AND POVERTY ENOUGH
SORROWS FOR "US" TO CRY?

REST IN PEACE KANHEM LEON.
