Solomon C Jatta Poems
So what if am black,
Does it mean the trait of humanity I lack?
I am no less human,
For I too am son of man.
...
Cabal of the corrupt,
The silent sleep of the economy they disrupt.
Users of public office as dumping ground for thieves
And the scum of society.
...
Mediterranean, I did not come
To drown,
I came because things frown
At home.
...
One poem at a time.
Yet the words were not enough to change
The killings we decried —
The bombing of children, whose parents had died
...
They have left
Footprints that we cannot fill,
Heavy with the weight of dreams,
Quiet now, but never still.
...
Cease the lie,
The youth are happy—
They say it loud, they say it snappy.
But what's so sweet about hunger pains?
...

The Best Poem Of Solomon C Jatta
Black Guy
So what if am black,
Does it mean the trait of humanity I lack?
I am no less human,
For I too am son of man.
The colored African look at me with disdain
Condemning me to slavery's pain.
To Europe I go in search of the golden key
It throws me bananas like am a monkey,
Shutting its doors to allow me drown.
I roam the streets of America only to be gunned down,
Living in fear that tomorrow I may not see
While theToubab roams Africa celebrated and free.
We are the hated, taunted and hunted beings of humanity,
Wake up Luther, your dream is in pity
Black blood paints the streets of the city.
Wake up Garvey, African unity is yet to reign,
Africa is at war with itself while exulting foreign.
