45 (Sufi Abdul Hamid)
Oh how they wrapped them in a maze of lies,
To tag the name Black Hitler upon youâ
Wealthy and sinister whites whose raucous cries,
Inflame the nation with all things untrue.
The Negro papers and the Negro writers
They bought and set them at your heels like hounds,
Because you urged the Negroes to be fighters,
Even though they lose all of a hundred rounds!
Poor Negro! The white papers, lawyers, judges,
All ganged together, pushed you to your grave,
Because your name was Arab and their grudges
Foredoomed your crucifixion as a knave.
Because you cried, white men, you always rob
My people, give them now a decent job!
circa 1943
