Oh it burns, this hellish wound
Your words pierce deep into my soul
Bullet holes made by your sound
To wreck me, was that your goal?
*
Well accomplished, I hope you’re pleased
You’re the victor and have seized this day
As these holes fester and rot leaving me diseased
So I bid thee adieu, to bed I shall lay
*
But mark my words, vengeance shall be mine!
Keep them peepers peeled for your end is nigh
Perhaps some poison while you dine
And eternally in a grave shall you lie
*
For heaven’s sake child, tis only dishes you utter fool
Get your ass back here, stop being such a tool!

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.

Great job! I was seriously worried as I don't cope well with horror... "But mark my words, vengeance shall be mine! Keep them peepers peeled for your end is nigh Perhaps some poison while you dine And eternally in a grave shall you lie"... I loved the ending.
Lol, the humor got me at the end! I could even see sarcasm upon a second reading, but I like the initial vitriol too. Great poem!
Ooh I adore angry poems and did not see that plot twist coming!! Great humour and cleverly written!
