Samurai Song

by Robert Pinsky

When I had no roof I made
Audacity my roof. When I had
No supper my eyes dined.

When I had no eyes I listened.
When I had no ears I thought.
When I had no thought I waited.

When I had no father I made
Care my father. When I had
No mother I embraced order.

When I had no friend I made
Quiet my friend. When I had no
Enemy I opposed my body.

When I had no temple I made
My voice my temple. I have
No priest, my tongue is my choir.

When I have no means fortune
Is my means. When I have
Nothing, death will be my fortune.

Need is my tactic, detachment
Is my strategy. When I had
No lover I courted my sleep.

This book is an incredible story of a woman, Cupcake Brown, who has survived unbelievable odds and managed to overcome some of life's most horrific challenges. An absolute must have! Words of caution....this book is not for the faint at heart and it's language is very graphic. However, the story must be told!

This is a great book by James Haskins to help learn the important contributions that African men and women have made to society...Nelson Mandela, Patrice Lumumba, Imhotep, Jomo Kenyatta, Kofi Annan, Albertina Sisulu and many more. Click here to view other books by Haskins.
