Nikki Giovanni Earth Poems
- 1. The Great Pax Whitie
In the beginning was the word
And the word was
Death
And the word was nigger
... - 2. Walking Down Park
walking down park
amsterdam
or columbus do you ever stop
to think what it looked like
... - 3. Resignation
I love you
because the Earth turns round the sun
because the North wind blows north
sometimes
... - 4. Poem For A Lady Whose Voice I Like
so he said: you ain't got no talent
if you didn't have a face
you wouldn't be nobody
... - 5. Ego Tripping
I was born in the congo
I walked to the fertile crescent and built
the sphinx
I designed a pyramid so tough that a star
... - 6. Sky Diving
I hang on the edge
of this universe
singing off-key
talking too loud
...
