Seeking closure

We seek wakefulness. What does Barbados mean to me? Is it the hot sun, broad-brimmed hats, and old khaki pants? It’s the robust men with warm, undertone skin that blends with the cultivated land. We seek constant reassurance from the ones we love that they will be there for us in good times and bad, just to feel good about ourselves. What does America mean to me? It means so much. It's a place where I was able to educate my children while I worked from sunrise to sundown, enduring pressure and humiliation. However, every sunrise holds more promise, and every sunset brings more peace. We seek solutions for all hateful people. We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that created them. We can’t sit back and do nothing or wonder when the racial hatred will end. I believe that Putin's war in Ukraine is aimed at the wrong people. We seek justice for hate crimes. What does Jamaica mean to me? It’s a place filled with the rhythm of swing and play, where one can fall in love today and be deceived the next day. We seek answers, but only God knows that His creation is out of control. We seek peace, and peace comes with love. Where there is no love in one’s heart, there will be no peace. We all know a little wisdom, but have we put it to the test? God opens millions of flowers every day without forcing their buds. Food for thought, my poetic friend. Be vigilant, be wise, never trust anyone
