Say it loud, Mr Brown
(A kwansaba for James Brown)
A
great tree whose leaves scented hearts
has fallen; it fell on Christmas day.
The great spirit works fresh new grooves,
ageless words gifted life with rapid feet
cheered by the welcome party; Ray Charles,
Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, chanting,
"Say it loud, you're black and great."
