Hebert Logerie Poems

In spite of last year’s ups and downs,
Life was beautiful and rewarding.
We played in the park and chased the clowns.
No one got hurt, and with the Good Lord’s blessing,
...

Money does not bring true happiness,
This does not exist. Money releases and smoothes
The daily burdens and responsibilities;
It is a relief that diminishes the worries.
...

Je n'ai pas du tout oublié, mon amour,
Quand avec chaleur, tu es venue à mon secours,
Quand tu m'as cajolé et m'as couvert de bisous,
A tel point que je suis devenu fort et fou.
...

Where are the Good Cops?

When I was little, very little
I dreamt of becoming a good cop,
...

Je t'aime tel que tu étais née
Avec tes jolis cheveux noirs et crépus
Avec tes beaux yeux d'ébène et nus
Avec ton grand sourire ensoleillé
...

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.
