Baraka's poems are extremely intense and everyone of them have the strong feel of black pride and definitely have the same feeling and anger from his essays. It seems like whenever Baraka has a chance to elevate black culture he does and he often puts down white's in his poems or hints at the fact that African-Americans are superior to the whites. In his poem, "Ka' Ba'" he does just that. Throughout the poem Baraka talks about the 'Black Family' needing to rise up and gain power.
