Notes About The Poem

 

SHAKING THE SPEAR…  

 

Shakespeare’s virus lives;

The infection, a syndrome:-

The oppressor pleased:-

 

Today’s stage, shadowed;

New Orthellos infected:

The oppressor pleased:-

 

Let's be protective;

Our kids can’t be Desmonas,

Nor we, Orthellos:-

 

With self-injections,

Let us wipe out the syndrome:

Pleasing liberty:-

 

In recovery,

Our Desmonas mothering:

Liberty birthing:-

Our kids can’t be Desmonas,
Nor we, Orthellos:-

With self-injections,
Let us wipe out the syndrome:
Pleasing liberty:-

In recovery,
Our Desmonas mothering:
Liberty birthing:-
