Poetic Thoughts
These Twin Cities
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

We hear lot of talk about place to go
That people up here asleep and so slow
That they ought to go to big town and see
How the people enjoy themselves and act free.
Opportunities in big towns the dsgruntled state
Is where the Negro should be and there
But know and those with experience tell us
That unless you have racket those you'll
If this is where you make your livelihood
Then you ought to be grateful for it's understood
That complainant who bites the feeding hand
Should vacate and travel to other land.
Don't know why they wonder and pine like this
For all you have to have is money and not miss
The cabarets and amusements that are here to
Therefore there's need for oaters disagree.
Peculiar people make good place dull
Even tho they have everything to overcome the lul
Of lethargy that stigmatizes certain town
For fun is had if people a frown.
Now it's not right to grumble about these Twin Cities
For l have many come back singing this ditty
"My town used to have them but they amt more"
So the Twin Cities average up above their score.

universal unemployment that grips
the country and envelopes its people
in clouds of disturbing uneasiness
and doubt. True it is there is 9
very visible slackening of that
spiritual contact, the one thing in
life of real value and satisfaction
But life is safe. The horrors OF
war do not threaten. The terrible
fear of losing husbands, fathers
and sons in the holocaust of indie
feasible conflict does not affect our
women and children.
America may indeed feel thank
full for our strong and friendly
neighbor on our northern boun-
Diary. She may be glad that vola-
tile neighbors on our south are not
strong enough to cause US any
thing but annoyance in that they
cannot or will not accept our prof
fered friendship in the spirit of our
generous intentions. America may
gratefully acknowledge the sanctu-
airy of the great expanse of oceans
that separate us by thousands of
miles from the perils of war-mad
peoples.
Turn we then from this encOur-
aging view of our isolation and
freedom from danger to cOntem-
platiOn of the crowded mass fear
crazed peoples of Europe and the
Orient.
Civil war raging for its third
year in Spain. Brothers arrayed
against each other while surround
ing selfish nations dip into this
broth of death if perchance they
may grasp an advantage from this
frenzied cauldrOn of unreasOning
murder.
In the Orient the Yellow men,
kin through blood and the tradi-
tiOns of these many centuries are
emulating the examples of their
more civilized CD white brothers
of Europe and are engaged in a
deadly if undeclared war.
In the finder box of the CONT
nent where divers interests of a
heterogeneous peoples conflict, the
peace of the world hangs on the
impulses and emotions of the err
otto and ambitious Hitler who
strives to dominate a world and his
equally ambitious and unscrupu-
lous confederate Mussolini in Italy,
who hopes to succeed where Napo-
leon failed.
Catering to the unholy ambi-
tions of these two men clothed in
the power they have seized, the ma
tons they control are being bled
white to furnish the ammunitions
of men and material essential for
their programs.
Of necessity other nations whom
these threaten must spend their
substance on defensive armament
and school their people to the need
for the sacrifice of their men-for
if war comes men must die and
women and children must suffer.
We have reason then to pray in
thankfulness that we are not as
other men thirsting for the possess
ions that are not ours, willing to
plunge the world in blood to have
them, unmindful of suffering that
attends these unholy ambitions.
America, we repeat, has many
problems and perplexities. We, the
Negro people, have reason to real
ize this above all others, for she
has been far from just to US. But
with it all we are not suffering as
the Jew for example and we, like
our neighbors, are free, for the
moment, at least, from the horrible
dangers of war.
Let us, then, grid ourselves to
strengthen our country against the
emotional tendencies leading to the
destruction of civilization, conf
dent that in time we shall over
come the unfair practices that bur-
den us in this present.
