Hebert Logerie Poems

I love you as you were born with style
With your beautiful black curly hair
With your ebony and naked stare
With your grand tropical smile
...

No Podemos Respirar

Ya no podemos respirar los humos tóxicos de racismo
No podemos respirar
...

From the Mountain Top

From the mountain top, we can see the lights
Of Hope, and feel the unspeakable pressure of the fights
...

We can no longer breathe the toxic fumes of racism
We can't breathe
We can no longer accept this type of cynicism
We can't breathe
...

I'm Trayvon Martin, I'm Eric Garner;
And I hate intolerance and violence.
I'm Charlie Hebdo too, dear brothers;
And I practice love and tolerance.
...

I Am a Negro
Je suis un Noir
Yo soy un Negro
I am a great Negro
...

Love is everything, love is priceless.
On Valentine's, it's not the value, the worthiness
Of the gift, but the simple gesture
Of giving a handshake, a kiss, a flower,
...

They reside on the other side.
They bathe in fertility.
They own yard-keepers and servants;
Dogs, cats and charming plants.
...

I stumbled upon a lucky penny
Yesterday, after the party.
I hesitated before I picked it up
For many reasons; maybe that's the hope,
...

It is snowing profusely, there is a blizzard.
Mother Nature has created a serious hazard
Everywhere. The branches of the trees are icy,
The roads are treacherous; danger is everywhere.
