Notes About The Poem

OF BOOMARANGING INJUSTICE  

 

No, we can’t say it didn’t happen; it did!

Senate produced and White House directed.

Improvised and played out before our eyes:

And they said the revolution wouldn’t be televised.

However, just check out daily Breaking News

Of Trumpian overtures being played out in classical 

Themes of constitutional comedies of errors:-

 

                  (And the beat goes on.)

 

Where noosing ropes once stretched 

And pulled innocent necks, we must now take hands

And pull down inking votes, noosing injustice!

Now, in the present of the future’s past, we must show

That truth spat and dumped upon, shall rise again.

Come, let us throw the boomerang of reciprocity,

Shattering the bigoted “in” out of bloody injustice, 

Rebirthing the mountaintop of gained justice/-

 

Remember, it’s better to be aware than sorry:

Our confused and abused youth are watching us:-

Let not history again reduce ourstory to footnotes:

Let us continue to rise, with our eyes still on the prize.

 

        (Let’s not be as Sisyphus; but as Jacob.)
