Little Black Child

by Terry Clark


I know a little black child
whose face bleeds with desire for love
the streets give him miles to walk
the gutters give him rivers to cross
I know a lttle black child
who grows up out in the streets
he laerns how to laugh and cry 
with all the people he meets
I know a little black child
whose eyes on that photograph
make me think, weep and wonder
They sure don't make me laugh
