Dropping Flowers, Blades Of Grass, And Us

 

Like flowers droop

but refuse to die

from the heat,

like tanned fields

subsumed in the struggle

to survive and keep

the flow of transpiration,

like the trodden blades  of grass

pushing through sidewalk holes

to capture the cosmic energy

that fuels them onward

the victory they seek

to be free,

we, like all of nature,

must continue to travel

the jubilee road 

riddled with imposing holes

and nullifying roadblocks

that causes us to stop

by the roadside

once and a while,

to check our engines,

water up, 

and refuel our spirits

with divine wisdom

and guidance,

navigating us onward

and upward

on the paved footprinted way

Our ancestors have left us

in the never ending passageway

to freedom, justice, and equality:

thus, let us buckle up,

and with eyes on the prize,

hit the pedal 

along the remaining

bumpy way

of our liberation sojourn:-
