Poem
CONTEMPLATING YESTERDAY, TODAY & TOMORROW Sitting here in deep thoughtful energy, Things are not where they ought to be In reflections on our lack of equanimity In today’s USA Law and Order mentality:- “Damn if I do…damn if I don’t”, has now become An Oppressor Syndrome stagnation pandemic, Leaving us wallowing in abject apathetic dismay; Unaware that making change voids sameness:- What is really true is “To not know is bad;” “To not wish to know is worse” [and so sad]. Our Ancestors–with less–did so much more Fighting the oppressive racist curse— Leaving for you and me with so much-more less to do with a challenge less worse:- For those of you who wish to know Just Goggle back 2 generations ago And it will revealed for you to see There’s even lesser to do by thee You, yours, and some of theirs, already have voting rights; All you all need to do is be registered and vote in June; No matter what it is that itching in your brain, just know this; There will still be even lesser to do with the lesser of the two:- The seed is given; Let’s get on with the sowing— Reaping is waiting:- 2024 -1921 = 103* We’ve come a long way; Emancipation is here— Liberation waits:- We can no longer afford to be as apathetic caterpillars, Self-cocooned and lingering about; cocooning time’s over. Like freed butterflies, we must soar to those voting polls And be as bees from the hives pollinating liberating pillars:- Spring is blooming time… Let the fruits of our labors Be sweet and juicy… *(Tulsa, OK. flashback itch)
