A Certains 'freres'.(Translation) . Poem by Michael Walker

A Certains 'freres'.(Translation) .

Vous me degoutez des mensonges,
Des mensonges veridiques,
Et de vos visages pieux,
Et de vos mains larges et etendues
Accueillantes, faussement chretiennes,
Tandis qu' au-dessous
Il y a la salete et la laideur,
Et des coeurs pourris,
Et des hyenes sauvages qui hurlent
Dans la terre desolee de votre coeur.

__' To Certain.'Langston Hughes.(1902 -1967) .
