Affirmative Action "Poet" who couldn't rhyme CAT wirh HAT.
She could rhyme. Look at the profound thought and subtle rhymes of this poem:
“I say, the night has been long,
The wound has been deep,
The pit has been dark
And the walls have been steep.
But today, voices of old spirit sound
Speak to us in words profound,
Across the years, across the centuries,
Across the oceans, and across the seas.
They say, draw near to one another,
Save your race.
You have been paid for in a distant place,
The old ones remind us that slavery’s chains
Have paid for our freedom again and again.”
Deep / steep. Sound / profound. Centuries / seas. Race / place. And Chains has “ain” in it, as does Again! And she repeated that one here:
“The ancestors remind us, despite the history of pain
We are a going-on people who will rise again.”

All hail the great poet Maya Angelou,
Dead at 86 so now she’s through!
