Are you there?
I call to you with the song of my heart
And yet no answer.
Can you not feel the Love within me;
Seeking you, crying out to you from within?
Are your there?
Endlessly I search with my eyes,
But to no avail.
Am I to rely merely on chance;
Perhaps a twisted whim of fate?
No!
It is not with my eyes that I will find you.
I ask again.
Are you there?
I have seen you before, in a dream.
Not your physical beauty but the woman
Within. And still I wonder, Are you there?
Or merely a creation of my own desire?
I await your answer.

Go Tell it on the Mountain by James Baldwin
Published on the 18th of May, 1953, ‘Go Tell it on the Mountain’ became the book that James Baldwin is probably most famous for. Including the very real impacts of violence upon the African American community during a time of turbulence for Civil Rights, James Baldwin became an absolute superstar not just of his race, but of the oppressed in every situation, in every country, all over the world. From Palestine to the Civil Rights Movement, from the LGBTQA+ to Muslim Migrants from war-torn countries, James Baldwin is the voice of the oppressed not just through the way he presents the division, but the way he presents a reality that the oppressors could not possibly be aware of. A reality in which every day is a fight to survive. What makes this even more real is that this is a semi-autobiographical novel. In my personal opinion, James Baldwin was the most articulate man in history.
