i killed a spider
not a murderous brown recluse
nor even a black widow
and if the truth were told this
was only a small
sort of papery spider
who should have run
when i picked up the book
but she didn't
and she scared me
and i smashed her
i don't think
i'm allowed
to kill something
because i am
frightened
we must die
claude mckay, 1889 - 1948

if we must die by claude mckay
if we must die-let it not be like hogs
hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
while round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
making their mock at our accursed lot.
if we must die—oh, let us nobly die,
so that our precious blood may not be shed
in vain; then even the monsters we defy
shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
oh, kinsmen! we must meet the common foe;
though far outnumbered, let us show us brave,
and for their thousand blows deal one deathblow!
what though before us lies the open grave?
like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
