The Bronze Titan
by
Larry Wiggs
Ahmad Maceo Eldridge Cleaver
was Eldridge and Kathleen Cleaver’s only son
For him there was only one book anybody needed, the Qu’ran
But, he did share with me a book entitled Jesus
He also suggested I read Panther Baby by Jamal Joseph
I took heed to everything this brotha shared with me
After all, the Black Panthers impressed me immensely
Irrespective of his contradiction, citing the two book additions
I would never call my dear brotha a hypocrite
There I found myself listening to Miles Davis
Munching on Oreos, laying on an air mattress, in a tent
Only minutes after applying to one foot an ointment
A foot cream — see I had a nasty foot fungus, disgusting
Then I thought, well damn, this is how I’m living
I might as well share it like some Cribs on MTV
So I snapped a photo hoping to get a laugh after posting the picture to IG
Some friends sent giggling emojis supporting me
Marquis especially wrote that my life was like an urban monk, indeed
Anthony replied with a power fist salute to my spunk
One more detail I must mention or I’ll be remissed
I also wore one sock to prevent the spread of the ointment
7 days later many things became clear
The world received news we didn’t want to hear
It was 7 days thereafter when Nipsey’s body went limp
And remember just 7 days prior I was in that tent
What’s curious about these facts is that
When I saw Nipsey’s body carried out on that gurney
I noticed his body still wore one sock on his left foot
I felt shook
7 days earlier
I was eating Oreos,
Listening to Miles Davis,
Reading Panther Baby,
While wearing one sock on my right foot,
in that tent
