Poetry: June Teenth by Neil Daswani
1 min read
Neil Daswani shares a poignant poem on Juneteenth.
You can throttle his throat, but you can’t smother his scream
an echo of the Reverend … who said, “I have a dream”
freedom’s not a whitewash and we’re no longer slaves
you can’t banish us to the ghettos or hide us in enclaves
