Ghairo Daniels Poet Carpe Diem

Now That

Now that we know struggle 
    can exist in commemoration meetings
        museums, battlegrounds or rivers
           now that we know soldiers too can
             be bourgeoisie making business 
              workers can govern or dance to be
                   Love can be free

Vagabonds can write poetry 
    advocates count syllables astutely 
       architects forgetting about wheelchairs 
          now that presidents fail farmers fickle 
              with colonels wanting to sing sonatas
                now that heroes hymn in the heavens 
                  we know Soul has no gender or class
      
Now that we know hunger is only a lesson
   and rage a rampant note going past 
       now that we know eyes are but mirrors 
              through Dark Ages with democracy
                imprinted on genes
                   now we can touch exuding Light

So let’s smell a good stew
       dwelling with arum lilies new
            let’s listen to frogs croaking 
                squeeze a warm hand poking
                     now that Consciousness opens up 

                             i t    a l w a y s    w  a  s
                       
                           ~~~~~~~~~
