Home Is Where the Hatred Is (1971)

A junkie walking through the twilight I’m on my way home I left three days ago, but no one seems to know I’m gone Home is where the hatred is Home is filled with pain and it, might not be such a bad idea if I never, never went home again

Stand as far away from me as you can and ask me why hang on to your rosary beads close your eyes to watch me die you keep saying, kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it God, but did you ever try to turn your sick soul inside out so that the world, so that the world can watch you die

Home is where I live inside my white powder dreams home was once an empty vacuum that’s filled now with my silent screams home is where the needle marks try to heal my broken heart and it might not be such a bad idea if I never, if I never went home again home again home again home again kick it, quit it kick it, quit it kick it, quit it kick it, can’t go home again

“Because I always feel like running Not away, because there is no such place Because if there was, I would have found it by now Because it’s easier to run, Easier than staying and finding out you’re the only one who didn’t run Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described, As in “the long run” Or as in having “given someone a run for his money” Or as in “running out of time” Because running makes me look like everyone else, though I hope there will never be cause for that Because I will be running in the other direction, not running for cover Because if I knew where cover was, I would stay there and never have to run for it Not running for my life, because I have to be running for something of more value to be running and not in fear Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from, Not without showing the fear as I see it now Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer Because of you and because of that nice That you quietly, quickly be causing And because you’re going to see me run soon and because you’re going to know why I’m running then You’ll know then Because I’m not going to tell you now”

Tired

by Langston Hughes

I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two- And see what worms are eating At the rind.

My People By Langston Hughes

The night is beautiful, So the faces of my people.

The stars are beautiful, So the eyes of my people.

Beautiful, also, is the sun. Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people
