I Remember the Land
I remember the land,
I remember its people,
They ways, the stupidity of
Their mentality, I never came
To heard of this term depression
Until earlier on in life,
I came to terms with hatred, bigotry
Because it’s a disease, right up there
With cancer, and corvid 19
Do you remember, the children
Of the eighties, and their carefree looks on life
Drugs, sex and intellectual freedom,
It goes like this. I don’t think of labor
I don’t think of work. To be laboring
Means to be working, and if it's not self employed
Its slavery with small wages. From the man.
“i remember the land and I remember its people
They stupidity from their mentality had worried me
I remember the dead, and I remember
How those trees outlived them,
I Remember the language of the trees,
That whispering sound of freedom
And the sound of human longevity,
Due to the kindness of a matured land
The waste land we leave behind,
even without spoken words
Can tell a story, of abandonment,
You might see a grassy area, I see, a court date
I see families fighting for ownerships,
I see illegitimates children,
fighting for the right
The land we leave behind, even without
Spoken words, know it's worth.
How you come to terms with yours..
