Strike of Midnight

At the Stroke of Midnight

The speed of light is almost equivalent

to love come in a hurry.

There are thieves in the temples

At 12 years old

One white girl can be a witness

This means that she can have the sleep burned from her eyes

As she becomes 1 of 10,000 witnesses

To the kickings of the heart

Witness to the tearing of a black man

At 12 years old she watches one woman

Apply a single match to her lover

An isolated black man.

A black man?

A black man who professes his innocence

There is a single flame

And 1000s of bullets

Leave his body

Swinging from branches

Black economic progress
