In the cold hard ground
roots are moving
without a sound
silent soothing grooves
spreading out so far and wide
the branches above
Marking aboreal tides
Of underground love
there's no yesterday
not anymore
there is no roof
without no floor
deeper than imagined
in your shallow sleep
what can't be bought
is rooted deep
water in streams
filling the oceans
poems and screams
growing wild notions
the stars and self hatred
the average tool
the divinely fated
all sacred fools
there's no yesterday
not anymore
there is no roof
without no floor
deeper than you thought
in your shallow dream
it can't be bought
what's rooted deep

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.
