Since it is National Poetry Month theBrother thought it appropriate to invite folks into a poetry process from one of his ways of working the craft.

The Richard Pryor program (1971) on Attica can be heard at:

...And the Pryor Poem
(Written and delivered in the autumn of 1971)
Goes like this:

Murder the Dogs
The mad, frothing at the mouth, Dogs
with expensive capped teeth
and fat bellys full of babies starving
No, don’t wait until they die
Kill them now
Because if you let them live
and die a natural death
you’ll be bitten 
and left to die in agony
And the mad dog pack
will then sniff out 
and search for your children
to eat
eat whole
flesh, bones, and soul
These beasts
will then retart the ones
they have not eaten
and their schools of unlearning
They will teach you
They will teach their children 
the hunting
and capture their own 
to bring to them
to devour
And the dog, the mad dog
will end up
patting you on the head
and throwing you a bone

This is the Poem-in-Progress theBrother is crafting:

Banish the inHumans
those frothing at the mouth
with expensive capped teeth 
of stolen African mineral inHumans
fat belly’s full of babies starving inHumans

banish them now
because if you let inHumans live
and die a natural death
you’ll be bitten
you’ll be left to die in agony

packs of inHumans
will search out, sniff out
your children to eat
flesh, bones, and whole souls

These inHumans will then retart
their schools of unlearning
training you to teach their children
the hunting and capturing

bringing them to a devouring
at the paws of these inHumans
