Poem
/by Vicki Acquah Before, when we were young; We were together all of us.. Awhile back when you were young, I was youthfully older-We were together back then as space and time had arranged. As some of us were offended Never wanted to share the same space here in cyberspace or on the planet earth; But still the universe dictated that We be in motion at the same time Same Station; Stationed on this plane. Although we were not headed in the same direction. We circled the Planet,and landed, On Facebook At Different times Different place Same Space.! And we waited four hundred revolutions of the moon. Now that I know what has happened To you, I know now where you've been, And what you've been through. Tell me again why I should remember? Tell me something I never knew about you; Why do you want me to know? Cannot imagine -If we had prayed What could have happened, If we would have waited to Get into Paradise, If we Meet again the old fashion way. Yes meet by chance.. Maybe my soul would be restless and Unsure if I'd even make it there ( Heaven ) that is But this is cool- Better than A black and white movie And a T.V. With static. And then you; You who I never Knew in the flesh ... My spirit takes you, You go with me... Everywhere I go. This is the 21st century My time is not now- Loyalty and vanity ain't friends But this cyber Karma is getting expensive. investing in people that just might disappear With your love offerings into thin cyber air- puff ! Liken to a jack legged preacher Who disappears after a sweet sermon. Wore your T shirts with pride- bought your lies and your book. Held your dreams up with borrowed clothes pens. Like Clean sheets blowing in the wind. We were cyber neighbors until your status changed And you mock me now You glorified traitor- I was warned People pleasing and pimping. And now we are no more friends... Where did you go - cyber heaven,? This is the 21st century - My time is not now. Different world Different understanding of How love behaves.. I met you on the ground Cannot reach you now- You're living up too high. In the Cyber Sky - When you get back to the ground And make your rounds It will be too late, the wolves would have already devoured me I Confess...I have eaten the Sour Cyber Grapes. Your paranoid behavior betrays you Ah Been peeped ya! But Your secret is safe with me, A Cleveland-er... Me That's Not how we roll...been round Three sixty, but I am back here with Those... Who knew my flesh IN THE SIXTIES... When it was tender. PEOPLE, Who know how real I am-Know Respect is due, Due also to those of you Who followed through in the real world. AND FOUND ME in cyber ciphers. Some WE MEET AGAIN- Some we meet And here we are WE that are left over from the same clan Now; In the same time and place. But this is Not Heaven -- However - We Are Together again in Cyberspace... SHALL WE MEET AGAIN After this ? Like, is there more than mere "Like" Here.? What No Love button.? Since this realm is not physical. Will these messages of love and letting go, float through the universal traffic like a SOS in Morse Code.? Well it's been nice knowing you I guess- I think- I mean I Hope -- ! I mean really .. I don't know... If you know my purpose has business with your purpose. Then All this, is on purpose. Then... Amen.
