Byrne Notes LX (Children Of The Damned) © 2015

From my
experience I have learned that it is better sometimes to find out for
yourself-maybe that’s what living life is all about. I went anyway. Did my
spoken word piece “TellMeVision.”performance After I was done they asked me to do another
one. Wasn’t sure if I would or not. A comedian came to the stage talking about
“white devils,” and how the black community should be responsible for
themselves. I was amused because for a split second I noticed I was the only
caucazoid in the house when he said, ‘white devils.’
I then
became inspired. Did a piece I wrote years ago, “Children Of The Damned.”

POOR, TOO WAR BASTARD”
Inherit the sun
my child, our war has just begun..
WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF
THE DAMNED
WITH A STRUGGLE NO ONE
WANTS TO UNDERSTAND
the last to come
the first to gasp
the first to cry
the last to laugh
We have No Name
We have No Shame
We are not allowed to
feel any pain
We are the pRetenders
Who must become the
defenders of justice
for those who despise us
