Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

MORE BETTER BLUES COMING

 

                        I

 

Contrary to the thinking of some,

The blues is not wallowing in depression;

Rather, it's the tribulations of overcoming it

With divine wisdom, guidance, and determination:-

 

Thus, there's got to be coming

A much more better blues

Than what is streaming

In our society today:-

 

Once considered an admirable country,

Our society today is slowly becoming

That ghostly Humpty Dumpty model

Of the so-called Free World:-

                   

        II

 

Jazzing with the keloid spirit

Of my hope-fueling Ancestors,

I'm so determined to survive

The present muddy waters:-

 

Indeed, today there are many strong spirits,

Striking–like hammers–oppressive depression;

Many fuel-spirited minds…bodies…and souls…

Sowing reaping seeds of more better blues:-

 

More better blues for a more better people,

Overcoming the sinister Oppressive Syndrome;

Modified beings ensuring that liberty and equanimity

Will therefore now and forever be, in life as well as in death:-

 

MORE BETTER BLUES COMING

MORE BETTER BLUES COMING


                        I


Contrary to the thinking of some,
The blues is not wallowing in depression;
Rather, it's the tribulations of overcoming it
With divine wisdom, guidance, and determination:-


Thus, there's got to be coming
A much more better blues
Than what is streaming
In our society today:-


Once considered an admirable country,
Our society today is slowly becoming
That ghostly Humpty Dumpty model
Of the so-called Free World:-

Jazzing with the keloid spirit
Of my hope-fueling Ancestors,
I'm so determined to survive
The present muddy waters:-


Indeed, today there are many strong spirits,
Striking–like hammers–oppressive depression;
Many fuel-spirited minds…bodies…and souls…
Sowing reaping seeds of more better blues:-


More better blues for a more better people,
Overcoming the sinister Oppressive Syndrome;
Modified beings ensuring that liberty and equanimity
Will therefore now and forever be, in life as well as in death:-
