UNCOCOONED

 

In this hive

of American life

are lifetime workers

engaged in labors of love

and good trouble.

 

But there are

also evil drones

seeking to permanently

 cocoon justice, liberty

and equality.

 

Thus, we must be

as butterflies:

metamorphosed

ebony beings destined

to breathe and soar

in liberation’s free air.

 

And in being so,

let us be as bees:

hived in the onederful

oneness of God’s sweet

peace and supreme love:-
