Abstract

In the poem "I hope You Believe Me", Heru strives to teach about the oppression faced by people of African descent through metaphors. Heru's poem has three strengths. It is provoking, articulate and subtlety reflects on various black thoughts on oppression. The poem is provoking due to its strong metaphors. Seven Years Old is a "strong African woman" who turns into the "perfect worker" by scientists that steal her and operate on her- which results in long term memory lost. In my mind this part of the poem was a metaphor of the millions of strong Africans that were taken from their homeland by outsiders, forced to work grueling labor that no one else wanted to do.
