Hebert Logerie Poems

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,
...

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

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
...

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.
...

No Podemos Respirar

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

A narcissistic and grumpy candidate
Lost blunderingly a serious debate.
This bully is accustomed to mock history
And never wholeheartedly believed in charity.
...

If you lie, you're a liar
If you steal, you're a stealer
If you kill, you're a killer
If you bad mouth, you're a backstabber
...
