Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: White Boys
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: August/1995

I want to do 
just like
the white boys
do -

Wear
six hundred
dollar
shoes,

and
dress
in
the finest 
of
suits -

I want 
a
six figure
income,

to splurge 
at
Fred Segal's,

on
Melrose
avenue -

I want to
jog
with 
my dog,

while 
pushing
my child
in a 
stroller -

I want to
send
my children,

to
only
the best
of
schools -

I...

You’re a consumer pawn on the cargo chessboard,

O god! Why community raises:
Where are you?
Show thy supernatural powers.
Why don’t you visible to us?

I had a belief that,
No one had ever seen you.
But, I can witness you, my lord.
You’re my spirit and my hope.

When time is not a clock, watch or real	
And sunsets have lost their appeal -
Then I shall face my doom, 	
But wake me not before noon.
