Black Art By Amiri Baraka (1979)
„…we want "poems that kill."
Assassin poems, Poems that shootguns.
Poems that wrestle cops into alley
sand take their weapons leaving them dead
with tongues pulled out and sent to Ireland.
(…)
Poem scream poison gas on beasts in green berets
Clean out the world for virtue and love,
Let there be no love poems written
until love can exist freely and cleanly."
