Notes About The Poem

IN THESE BABYLONIAN TIMES  PS

(A Palming Allegorical Rendering)

 

With elephant ears,

And the keenness of giraffes,

Let’s become as owls:

Divine wisdom and guidance,

Eagle-winging us justice:-

 

In our life’s nature,

Trials and tribulations come:

So does conquering:-

In Babylonian times,

Seek your new Jerusalms:-

 

Jesus rode an ass,

We now have one riding us:

Time to buck him off:-

Leaving no palms to catch him,

Let’s burn away oppression:-

 

With ashes of hope,

Let’s anoint liberation

And coming justice:-

Let us get to palm swapping

Injustice from our pathway:-

 

Ever be mindful,

God helps those who help themselves:

Wisdom in their palms:-

Having empath palms is bad;

Not seeking to fill them, worse:-

 

We’ve overcome worse

Sodom’s and Gomorrah’s trials;

Wisdom guiding us:

Necessary means revealed;

Injustice palm-slapped away:-

 

Despair wallowing 

In apathetic dismay,

Is self defeating:-

With palms of wisdom guiding,

Let’s be self liberating.:-

(A Palming Allegorical Rendering)

With elephant ears,
And the keenness of giraffes,
Let’s become as owls:
Divine wisdom and guidance,
Eagle-winging us justice:-

In our life’s nature,
Trials and tribulations come:
So does conquering:-
In Babylonian times,
Seek your new Jerusalms:-

Jesus rode an ass,
We now have one riding us:
Time to buck him off:-
Leaving no palms to catch him,
Let’s burn away oppression:-

With ashes of hope,
Let’s anoint liberation
And coming justice:-
Let us get to palm swapping
Injustice from our pathway:-

Ever be mindful,
God helps those who help themselves:
Wisdom in their palms:-
Having empath palms is bad;
Not seeking to fill them, worse:-





We’ve overcome worse
Sodom’s and Gomorrah’s trials;
Wisdom guiding us:
Necessary means revealed;
Injustice palm-slapped away:-

Despair wallowing 
In apathetic dismay,
Is self defeating:-
With palms of wisdom guiding,
Let’s be self liberating.:-
