Black History Month

Dear Peter and Christopher, Black History Month is a month where we celebrate Black people such as Malcolm X, M.L.K.Jr and what they did to make this country a better place. This is important because they made a difference to the discrimination against Blacks. I selected this poem because it tells us about the love for the dead. It made me feel sad to think about the people I miss.

Robert Hayden Full Moon

No longer throne of a goddess to whom we pray, no longer the bubble house of childhood's tumbling Mother Goose man, The emphatic moon ascends the brilliant challenger of rocket experts, the white hope of communications men. Some I love who are dead were watchers of the moon and knew its lore; planted seeds, trimmed their hair, Pierced their ears for gold hoop earrings as it waxed or waned. It shines tonight upon their graves. And burned in the garden of Gethsemane, its light made holy by the dazzling tears with which it mingled. And spread its radiance on the exile's path of Him who was The Glorious One, its light made holy by His holiness. Already a mooted goal and tomorrow perhaps an arms base, a livid sector, the full moon dominates the dark.
