The Life-Giving Corpse and the Death-Giving Corpse
by Sabrina Dawkins
Elisha’s bones gave life.
The celebrity’s corpse gives death:
Tupac
Aaliyah
Left Eye
Nipsey Hu$$le
replayed on the TV screen
and airwaves
to infect and possess
the next generations
with sparkling sin
in crisp clothes,
sexy outfits,
makeup,
hair extensions,
smokey eyes,
diamond ears,
a syrupy tongue,
and a white smile.
A godless or confused author writes death:
James Baldwin
Maya Angelou
Toni Morrison
bell hooks
Richard Wright
Angela Davis
I used to think being published was a sign of greatness.
Then I read The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
and realized they were only agents
of chaos:
Lesbianism
Atheism
Feminism
Marxism
Catholicism,
weapons against God’s word
to crown Satan as king.
