African Brother Poem by James B. Earley

Thanks for the comment on my poem-I really like this piece-African Brother-it reminds me of a poem that I wrote called Have We Overcome-it talks about how we african-americans place blame on others when really we are our own/biggest enemy(ies) .

A touchy composition. Nice.

But that does not justify, as they are both wrong.

It's a small spiritual consolation - but - anyone who sells his brother or sister into slavery has already sold his own soul into slavery - and worse than slavery, shame and degradation...

also goong back to what dude said, yes it is present in the bible and what color do think joseph and his brother were? i wish this site had a discussion board

Greed has always have a hand in some of the worst crime commiditted by mankind. Thanks 4 sharin

Human nature is the villain. Great poem, James!

Who indeed... for we are all brothers/sisters under the skin... are we not?

reading this poem made me think, it was very delightful.... keep writing

After reading, one can only come to the conclusion that nothing has changed. Man is a 'sale' waiting to happen, easily swayed, at whatever price, no end in sight... We sell ourslves into the bargain. Good write....Cindy
