Thoughts From My World

they say your thoughts create your world my third world was birthed when the white storm swept across our homesteads do i get to recreate it by simply thinking of meadows and prairies crystal jars of milk and honey? i think of thorns pricking her beautiful skin the midday sun scorching her blooming day i think of green fields and empty pots flowing rivers and bare granaries i think of beautiful jewels and plastic chains naked servants and gucci clad masters i think of flooded homes and empty dams i think of the nail crowns bleeding my people dry ~ thoughts from my world

It’s horrible what whites did. We have a lot to answer for. What a poignant poem.

Dear Paulette, Sorry for this late response to such as beautiful sentiment. I went off this forum for a bit due to some unavoidable circumstances. I truly appreciate your kind thoughts. Hopefully I’ll be posting more and who knows, one day the Maya Angelou dream may just come true. Peace and love
