Notes About The Poem

TO THE POETIC RIVERS OF MANY TONGUES

 

Canvassers of the word, from the fireplaces of

Pregnant minds, let us, with ebullient enthusiasm,

Pen flaming words to melt away the dismay in a world

Wrought with war, bigotry, injustice, hate, and loss hope:-

 

Let us not merely pen-paint entertainment, but more importantly,

Let us vision awareness, inspiration, confidence, determination,

And ever burning faith in ability to work and overcome despair

And apathetical slacking attitudes of deplorable indifference:-

 

Come let us ignite ingenuity in those who have lost all hope;

Fueling them with belief in self and God, that while oppression

Presently holds its head high, the days of the very hairs of his head

Are numbered; and that with undying faith and work, they will be cut:-

 

May the words of our mind’s mouths likewise excite ebullient

Enthusiasm in the hearts, minds, and souls of those whose eyes

View us, and whose spirits are fueled by their inking, that freely flows

From the divine wisdom and guidance of the rivers of God’s creativity:-
