Last night it snowed slightly in Stockholm

[Cornelius Hamelberg]

Chidi, this is not poetry : 

I am dreaming of a white christmas - a white christmas

white

like the eternally snow-capped mountain peaks of the Himalayas

white

as in  Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - 

a white christmas

white

like Wole Soyinka's first white hairs 

white 

like that super white dude Donald J Trump

pardoning  the thanksgiving turkey that he slaughtered

in the White House

a White Christmas and not the opposite that comes to 

everybody loves the sunshine

the Black Power diaspora mind:

a Black Christmas - dark as before God said 

let there be light and there was light

and He separated the light from the darkness:

Capetown, angel black, white as sin

Racism : 

and now some of Jesus’s white supremacist folks are cackling

“We  shall never worship your black Jesus !”
