Yo, you’re teensy

Tiny little germy bits

Of landscape in my world

Yo, you enter me screaming

“Girl, yo’ gon die!”

 

Yo, I fight with madness

Erase your sadness

Triumph o’er you

And smack-dab down.

Pitiful existence—tha’s the one

You have.

Yo, lost in the cosmos

While fire shakes the earth

Spraying terror in its wake

Evil like the bitter noon-day

In which your loved one goes.

© Maya Angelou
