Hebert Logerie Poems

God created only ONE race:
The Human Race.
He did not create a white race,
A black race, a brown race
...

Haïti, au gala de ce soir,
Tu seras ma jolie Valentine,
Me petite amie, ma copine,
La Négresse aux beaux yeux noirs.
...

It is wonderful to see multiracial boys and girls
Accompanying the football or soccer players
On the field. Let's applaud them, ring the bells,
And say no to racism; this is a clear defeat for the haters,
...

"What can't they get along? "
Said, a famous tortured Black man.
Why can't they sing the same song?
What a shame! What an omen!
...

Babies bite not all the time
Because their teeth are coming up
In this World Cup
It should be a crime
...

Never cry
When you are at your weak point.

Never cry
...

The singing caged bird left quietly this morning.
Everyone is searching for her, everyone is crying.
It is always a shock when a special person is gone,
Death always comes like a loose bullet from a gun.
...

African Queen, Afro-American Queen,
American Queen, Black Queen,
You are now free, you have escaped,
You are now crowned, phenomenally draped,
...

Le bel oiseau fier,
En cage, qui chantait si bien hier,
S’est envolé.
L’écrivain, qui écrivait en beauté,
...

You can bravely or cowardly
Look at me, stare at me
I have water in my eyes
I do not need your prize
...
