Where can i find a poem about violation of human rights written by an author of the same country?

Question

I need a poem about violation of human rights in a country.
However, the author of the poem needs to come from the country the poem is written about.
It can be any country, modern or recent. Also, the poem needs to be assessable in a book.

Answer 1

you didn't specify that it had to come from another country, so this one from the u.s. might help you. you can locate it in the book "the black poets," edited by dudley randall.

It Was a Funky Deal by Etheridge Knight

It was a funky deal.
The only thing real was red,
Red blood around his red, red beard.

It was a funky deal.

In the beginning was the word,
And in the end the deed.
Judas did it to Jesus
For the same Herd. Same reason.
You made them mad, Malcolm. Same reason.

It was a funky deal.

You rocked too many boats, man.
Pulled too many coats, man.
Saw through the jive.
You reached the wild guys
Like me. You and Bird. (And that
Lil LeRoi cat.)

It was a funky deal.


this poem comes out of the turbulent sixties, when racial oppression was the law of the land, and black radicals (and radical members of other races) came together to fight the human right violations of segregation, discrimination, and racialized poverty and disenfranchisement.

knight wrote this as an elegy in honor of malcolm x, who had recently been assassinated. other references are to jazz great charlie parker ("bird") and imamu amiri baraka ("that lil leroi cat"), another radical poet of the black arts movement.
