Our Language Is Black And White Poem by Eche Ononukwe

Our Language Is Black And White



We utt’r black words from our

tired-strick’n pens, lips and hearts,

trying to tune our coarse voice from our lungs

to fit our audience’s ears.



We utt’r white words from our

joy-strick’d pens, lips and hearts,

trying to fit ourselves in the midst of pens

but all in all is black and white.
