Renaissance Unfulfilled
RENAISSANCE UNFULFILLED
Glorious! Glorious! Renaissance
Brought humanity to new heights
Of unbounded creative power,
Look at Florence's splendor
Experience its Medici majesty
Inhale its inebriating beauty
Intoxicate your very senses
With perfect, mastered imperfections
Of tiles, towers and frescos,
There my sensibility awoke
To a persistent, clamoring anomaly
Amongst fashionable vain crowds,
Strolling with contemptuous disdain,
They pretend not to see,
Raw,unadulterated beauty,
There they stood numb,
Fugitives of negated dreams,
Breathing, Ebonic statues,
Perfect creation, muted, invisible,
Staring painfully at the horizon,
Longing, no doubt, for
Sunsets of Africa skies.
E. G. Fialo
