Poem for Lady Day @ 100: Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit
For you Lady Day @ 100
Queen of the Blues Black Classic sound
Strange Fruit hangin above the ground
Black lives Matter then and now
we love the songs you gave
they handcuffed you to yr bed
on the way to your grave
sing Billie
yr songs for eternity
Lover Man, My Man
All of me
Yeah, why not take all of me
Sing Billie
from your heaven throne
God bless the child
that's got his own....
--Marvin X
