NIKKI GIOVANNI, a poet who actually had the Virginia Tech shooter as a student in her class months before the madman's killing of several students, wrote a concise and sharp poem, not related to the incident, about men and women, ever the subject of this blog.
THE DRUM
daddy says the world is
a drum tight and hard
and I told him
I'm gonna beat
out my own rhythm
Maybe I still don't understand the distance between a woman and a man. Tell me how far it is. Ladies, there's more to life than what's between your hips. Your devotion to emotion just brings commotion. Be independent, strong and free!
