To the White Fiends

Robert Owens, Claude McKay

Think you I am not fiend and savage too?
Think you I could not arm me with a gun
And shoot down ten of you for every one
Of my black brothers murdered, burnt by you?
Be not deceived, for every deed you do
I could match -- out-match: am I not Africa's son
Black of that black land where black deeds are done?

But the Almighty from the darkness drew
My soul and said: Even thou shaft be a light
Awhile to burn on the benighted earth
Thy dusky face I set among the white
For thee to prove thyself of highest worth;
Before the world is swallowed up in night
To show thy little lamp: go forth, go forth!
