Chinese Mother Pearl
Posted in asian antiques on 06/02/2011 06:57 pm by adminTwo poems. What do you think?
I wrote these two poems a while back. The first is about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the other about Chinese in America.
Under another sun
nonexistent
that fateful day
when the sky collapsed
with the brilliance of a thousand dying suns.
steel buckled
twisted like the minute
ribbons in my mother's cells
warped beyond hope of any repair.
born without hope
without a father to hold me
deserted by tradition and honour
the same honour that made the sun fall.
here I stand
learning to walk
on my crippled feet
under a warmer, brighter sun.
Yellow Skin
they spit
scorn and gall
hatred
bitter memories
of Pearl Harbour
fuck off
it's your fault
they say
even though
I wasn't born
even though
they- you know who I mean-
killed my great-grandfather too
not just theirs
even though
China was captive
bound by another
yellow skinned
shackled by
another
narrow eyed person
so easily
mistaken for us.
i just wish we did not use the bomb also that i wish japan never brought us into the conflict and other nations. also it is a good thing here in the united states all races are treated equally. this generation of all americans have to be thankful.
