Notes About The Poem

SUN-FLOWERING PEOPLE

(A Haiku Trilogy)

 

Black and beautiful…

Liberty’s ebon flowers…

Rooted in freedom…

 

Like His sunflowers,

Let us stand in bright glory;

Sunshine gleaming us:-

 

Ebon sunflowers;

Our bright eyes stayed on the prize–

Liberty’s statues:-

Like His sunflowers,
Let us stand in bright glory;
Sunshine gleaming us:-

Ebon sunflowers;
Our bright eyes stayed on the prize–
Liberty’s statues:-
