Notes About The Poem

Undaunted Flight

Pry me essence
Of honey dew melon
Fat back gimme
Mo collard greens
Gimme essence from 
Flavas undone
Marmalade too
Of long ivory tusks
That elephants do
From the flight 
Of the whip poor will 
Till
The next rains flood 
Those plains
Talking bout old essence
Encountered
From far and near
Yet never here
To the dried up bones
That bake in the in the Sahara sun
As the mighty Mississippi 
Giving life to everyone 
Visions from the native 
Child tears from fear
And unrest 
While there forefathers 
Laugh and cry then 
Turn over in their graves 
As  the millions 
man woman child 
Hordes 
March on on and on
Undaunted and forever ..
Wounded
