Trudi

should have died three hundred times

if her friends, good Germans,

hadn't saved her:

she was a Jewish child

in Hitler's Deutschland.

We are all

somebody's kid

and me, I'm a jigaboo

I'm a black man

hiding in a white skin.

Drown your sorrows in drink, by all means, but the real sorrows can swim

A brilliant piece Ded,
