The poem titled 'To The Hustler" was written by Mungin a member of the New York Chapter Of The Black Panther Party For Self-Defense.

TO THE HUSTLER

Now see here Homes
I know
Its hard for you
to understand why.

You have to change
your ways..brother.

Yeah.... I'm hip,
the world's a jungle
and you're trying to survie
That's why you're wearing
an eight dollar tie.

Whitey's got you down
so its colored folks
you beat
Changing Cadillacs every year
like you own a fleet.

But colored folks
are turning Black
and when that's complete
what will you do then.... Homes?
Wear out your Gators walking
the street

Mungin, 1974
