Notes About The Poem

This, or that volume 28 sponsored by Edward Ibeh

Kingdom Come

Kingdom come, amid men whose secure custody
I can hear it yield promises then relinquish final copy.

Stumbled on ancestral stone which once ago protect
Those that ensure their existence human honor connect.

Build new ones to rewrite freedom harnessed battle,
As those, once blessed, move and walk-in-like cattle.

Those that do care on honeysuckle sunlit minions
Overflowing of golden fields, rivers to feed Millions.

Whoever else and thinking and Orchestrate vengeance,
Kingdom come, those whose custody, doors open, welcoming penance.
