I See
THE PANTHER
POET’S CORNER
Reminiscence journalist’s prayer
BY CARMELITA A. SANTIAGO
The light of the world before me as a vast lowland of dust.
Nudist dust bathe on the grassy plots.
The sphere has spun out of proportion.
The minds of men have opened up to all nations.
Every man is known as THE MAN.
I would tell you of the time I
met
A preacher man,
And how we talked, boy, was he
A dandy dan,
And how he had dreams of
writing a book called
“The Hidden Man,”
And how we held hands as I
imagined
Myself surrounded by his pots
and pans.
Lord, let me never tag a
moral to a tale, nor. tell a
story without a meaning.Make
me respect my material so 1
much that I dare not slight
my work.
Help me to deal very honest
ly with words and with people,
for they are both alive. Show
me that as in a river, so in
a writing, clearness is the best
quality, and a little that is pure
is worth more than much that
is mixed.
No man is lower than women and no woman is lower than
man.
The land belongs to natures wonders - anybody and every
body.
I SEE (the past)
a young time of buds and dew.
a time of toys and fights.
a time of MIGHTY MEN - the JF & RF K’s, the M. L. Kings,
a battle of the generations.
a time when the hippie vs. LBJ and SOUL out runs the BOOT.
a time when the Khrushevs and the Churchhills become
extinct.
YES I’VE SEEN THE PAST
I SEE (the present)
a battle of generations still goes on.
the fiction of the sexes becomes reality as man vs. woman.
life goes on.
AN ERA OF DEATH!
an age of endless goals and destinations
a time of utmost confusion, wondering, hesitations.
An age of rebellion where the elite vs. the man who knows
not who he is or what he is.
An age where I know not who I am or what I am.
RIGHT NOW I LIVE THE PRESENT.
I SEE (the future)
D - Day - An explosion of the minds.
A time when God will rule men from earth and not heaven.
A time when color will cease to be
When man will have no major enemies o’er all the nations.
A time when hunger will have no meaning.
When war will cease among men and commence among minds.
When time will be eternity.
I’LL SEE THE FUTURE.

port.
I would tell you of the time I
met
A night club singer,
And how we danced, boy, was
he
A swinger,
And he could tell
Some ring-a-ding-dingers
That would make
You want to linger.
I would tell you of the time I
met
A handsome young soldier,
And how we laughed and
The jokes got bolder and bolder,
And how we took off our shoes
and
Ran in the rain and wrapped
tightly in
Each other’s arms as we got
colder,
And how we kissed as I cried
for
He was going off to war and
I feared he’d die and
We’d not together grow older.
I would tell you of these things
I think back on
With a sigh,
And how all three
Of my lovers died,
But you might think
That I lie,
And besides,
I don’t want to cry.

Editor Poll
Minneapolis, Minn. (ACP) —
A majority of the nation’s col
lege newspaper editors favor
stopping All bombing in Viet
nam in order to further peace
negotiations.
The poll was conducted by
Associated Collegiate Press
during the second week of Oc
tober before rumors became
persistent that the United States
had made such a proposal and
was based on a computeriz
ed sample and a mail ballot
to 10 percent of all college
’’Breakdown ounerespouueiua
by sex showed 35 percent were
women and 65 percent men.
Teach me to see the local
color without being blind to see
the inner light.
Give me an ideal that will
stand the strain of weaving
into human stuff on the loom
of the real.
Keep me from caring more
for books than for folks, for
art than for life.
Steady me to do the full
stint of work as well as I
can; and when that is done,
stop me; pay what wages Thou
wilt, and help me to say, from
a quiet heart, a grateful Amen.
—Henry Van Dyke
PARADISE NOW
A 3 1/2 hour performance
of the anarchist play “Paradise
Now” by the Julian Beck Liv
ing Theater troupe ended in the
arrest of troupe members and
Yale students last week. Po
lice took Beck, his wife and
four other persons into custo
dy after they led some 250
members of the play’s audi
ence, some wearing only un
dergarments, into a main street
bordering the Yale campus,
chanting “The streets belong
to the people.” There were
no reports of violence.
The episode occured at the
end of the production. Earlier
the cast members stripped to
loin cloths and bikinis. Some
members of the audiences re
sponded to the exhortations of
the cast by removing their
clothing. Beck was charged with
indecent exposure. The others
were charged with indecent ex
posure or breach of the peace
or both.
The troupe had been in the
United States for about two
weeks when the incident oc
cured. This week they are sche
duled to appear at the Brooklyn
Academy of Music.
Black
Dark as the shadows in a
swamp,
Beautiful as a stallion on the
romp,
Upon us all, amid our strife,
Black is mysterious, black is my
life.
The Deep
Sleep
BY DAVETTA BELL
A dream from which we want
to awake
Please open our eyes for
God’s Sake
Too long with our eyes clo-
ed, too long in a sleep
Oh, Lord how long must we
suffer defeat?
In a world of hate, suffering
and pain
We travel down the path of
despair and shame
Where are we headed? Just
where will we go?
The answer to this, master,
only you know.
We feel a hand shake us,
a voice says, “Wake up”
But in fear we realize the
world might erupt
Our eyes seem to close tight
er and then,
We pray, “Oh please help
us this world to mend”
So that we can wake up, wake
up from this sleep
And no longer, — no longer
suffer defeat
And no longer live in suffer
ing and shame
And no longer travel a path
of despair and shame . . .
