Crystal Waters

Crystal Waters Crystal waters And foreign rain Bring Fluffy clouds of wool and tweed Cashmere, engineered Cotton fields of fiber, seed and flappy lobe Supplying fabric, textured textile Thread and string Spun into spheres Layered and interwoven Seamed, stitched and hemmed A sheet, a leaf , a membrane Chained captives Held in bondage Man-made machine Black bodies on an assembly line Harvesting white crop Their sweat hide their tears Rag cover their frame and cadaver Mere androids Their soul caged in The whip , their law and discipline Sighs of weary hands and tired feet A mercy plea The church of suffering Shall render no more Madame and monsieur ,dignity restored Marckincia Jean Free verse 08/24/19
