Notes About The Poem

TURTLES OF LIBERTY

 

In the race of life, 

let us be as the turtle;

rather than as the hare:-

 

Let self assurance

and motivated focus

pace our journeying…

 

Our self wisdom 

and paced determination

mirrors destiny…

 

The distance is long;

Let patience be a virtue–

Resilience shelled:-

 

Life’s race may be slow;

Liberty always coming–

It has its season:-

 

Life’s nature has us;

Ancestors’ footprints molded–

Persistence fueling:-

 

Being of oneness,

Turtling along the way;

Let us shell our liberty:-
