Notes About The Poem

    

                 (APROPOS OF POLLING)

 

In preparation, ants are moulding

And stacking their mounds; in hives,

Bees reflect collective oneness 

In the sweetness of their unity;

And in high distant places, black 

Widows meticulously spin their webs,

While honing hornets harden their nests:-

 

Cocooned in political and economic darkness,

Let us not be dismayed, apathetic sojourners;

Remember, while caterpillars are entombed 

To be no more, their cocoon eventually opens

And out soars a liberated beautiful butterfly:-

 

Let us be as the butterfly, as we powerfully soar

With flapping vote-casting wings gliding us 

Towards full liberation in our political sojourn.

In preparation, ants are moulding and stacking

Their mounds, while in hives, bees are reflecting

The collective oneness in the sweetness of unity;

With voting power, let us likewise reflect such

Sweetness of unity in power-based rendering:-

 

An Allegorical Cocoon Lesson: Apropos of Polling

AN ALLEGORICAL COCOON LESSON
				(APROPOS OF POLLING)

In preparation, ants are moulding
And stacking their mounds; in hives,
Bees reflect collective oneness 
In the sweetness of their unity;
And in high distant places, black 
Widows meticulously spin their webs,
While honing hornets harden their nests:-

Cocooned in political and economic darkness,
Let us not be dismayed, apathetic sojourners;
Remember, while caterpillars are entombed 
To be no more, their cocoon eventually opens
And out soars a liberated beautiful butterfly:-

Let us be as the butterfly, as we powerfully soar
With flapping vote-casting wings gliding us 
Towards full liberation in our political sojourn.
In preparation, ants are moulding and stacking
Their mounds, while in hives, bees are reflecting
The collective oneness in the sweetness of unity;
With voting power, let us likewise reflect such
Sweetness of unity in power-based rendering:-
