Victory on Defeat










by Shields Green

APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain
Detroit has been crucified, but
Detroit will have resurrection.

The Black Sun always rises.
White demons are possessing the Souls of Black Folk.
The question of the color-line is the question of the 21st Century
as it was of the 20th.
Workers are disunited on the color-line.

The Barbarian hordes have breached the City 's gates.
They will rape Black women again on Jefferson Avenue like Jefferson did.
The bourgeois prince's savages will pillage and rape our Black
Beautiful Detroit and Beautiful Isle.
Beasts raping Beauties.

May Day will come again.
Detroit survives despite economic sanctions, blockades ,
disinvestments, rapes

What would Coleman Young do ?
Smiles !
Put Victory on Defeat !
