James Baldwin Quote

This Baldwin poem resonates with me. Love’s grace comes with great power, inspiring fears and conquering cowardice.

A few years changed everything 

June 2, 2017June 2, 2017 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

In ’42
They were proud
Of their work

In ’45
Suddenly they became
The worst evil ever

Eyes finally opened
Stomachs churned
Too late for so many

Upon windy voice,
Echoes of history call;
Resist cyclic doom.

Reflect on myself
Walking upon these same streets
Changed and new blended.
