	PAUL A man, Black magnificent the descendent of the Ibo Whose ancestry, made redundant by slave sodden greed Stood alone in his dignity Wordless against prejudice and dogma His parents transported to a foreign place Bred him to respect his proud heritage in a world possessed by hatred of his colour Singing!

Universal chords touching conscience with anger and guilt Such a Man, Alone, and Black Could provoke feelings of hate and cowardice With convoluted simplicity and controversy Exposing our tyranny and corruption Hidden in the soft whispers of our poverty ridden thoughts BEE RICHARDS
