Dead albinos of Tanzania are

buried in cement poured over

wire to keep out those who

would raid the graves and chop

off limbs like rabbits’ feet to

be sold to the powerful. The

dead are safer than the living.

Witch doctors do the bidding

to frighten villagers with

superstitions and myths of

riches. There it’s blacks on

whites.  Here it’s whites on

blacks and the witch doctors

in both places do the bidding

for the powerful who are

scared of blacks and whites

and everything in between

including their own shadows.

And dead albinos there and

dead blacks here still cry for

justice and freedom from

cement graves imbedded

with wire so that albinos

there and blacks here will

live for justice and freedom

and Jesus in albino skin

there and black skin here

forgives and loves even

when they come for his

body parts.
