                         Scarred by driving winds

To my knees, I fall and begin to pray

...Black folks got rhythm
full movements
undeterred, and
flexible as four winds.

with limbo
it's in our hands
with early rising;
planting seeds of joy,
washed in ray of hope ......

The next Hitler will execute the world’s masses, 
Using costly powerful pharmaceuticals;

The sower having done his part
In faith must watch and wait

out of pages 
gentle features 
of grace replace 
calculated poses 
touched by
