I know sometimes the mist prevails,
Each step you take leaves no tread
Words and thoughts seem odd and foreign
Like a book you've never read
Sometimes I see the fear in your eyes
When things don't seem the same
Sometimes just a question forms
When pictures don't have names
I'll make you laugh as long as I can
Dry your tears whenever they fall
Hold you tight when thunder sounds
Whatever - I'll conquer it all
But should life boil down to the here and now
And exist just this moment or two
That's enough for me to live
If that moment..
Is me and you
Things get simple later in life...
OK, not everything gets simple
But emotions distill to their essence
There's no time anymore for the noise
While fighting to filter things out from the background
And background is what you've worked on a lifetime so far
Like picking out from the multitude that one perfect star
The one that aligns with the orbit you've found
With your head in the space where your feet found the ground
And all of your wandering brought you right here
To the point on this sphere where the tears in your eyes
Don't dim the reflection of the path you've been on
Leading up to this point where things all boil down
Reducing your life to the importance of focus
While you spend the time intellectualizing and politicizing Jodiann's death
Remember someone pickney dead
Because of discrimination and power play let's call it as it is .
A child don't have her mother.
Yes another report comes out without hope because a nuh one big man pickney dead
My question is ...would you want anyone to treat your pickney suh
Mi afraid to cough and sneeze because you will think is COVID-19 ...you think you any better than them doctor...just watch your own reaction when someone cough and sneeze ...yuh ask is that COVID-19
Discrimination is real
Many call for Tufton to resign ...a him did discriminate?
In case you never hear... he was never there.
Stop the politics and call out the doctor them name
Because them never care.
There was a time when doctors believe that all lives matters but today mi question that
Now a child without her mother
A mother without a daughter
A sister without her sister
And a lover without his mate
Just because a doctor discriminate
they never cared
At the end of the day that what it boil down to ...them never care .. only their life matters.
__________________________
The poem title in Latin acts as an admission of guilt, but by the end of the sonnet it transforms into an empowerment statement: If it is my fault, then it is also within my power to change it. The sonnet was inspired by the Brihad Aranyaka Upanishad (IV.4.5). It establishes a causal chain (human desire, freewill, action, and destiny) that shows destiny is not arbitrary like a random script written by the stars. It is a direct crop grown from the ‘karmic seed called deed’.

The scriptures warn: beware of destiny,
But deep within I am my wildest wish,
Desires shape how my will’s resolve will be,
Which guides the deeds my soul loves to unleash---
My fortune’s fertile ground, and greenest lea.
I still rejoice should fate fetch me fair cheers,
For ‘tis not fate, man alone is mighty,
Yet, I bemoan if it should bring me tears.
Let me then know how should my life I lead,
Not by the stars whose own fate rests unknown,
If fate favours the karmic seed called deed,
Then all things boil down to my rigid bone.
All of my destined moments born as now,
To my own thoughts and acts of the past bow.

Note: The Roman transliteration and translation of the verse quoted are:
...sa yatha kamo bhavati tat kratur bhavati |
yat kratur bhavati tat karma kurute |
yat karma kurute tad abhi-sampadyate ||
You are what your deep, driving desire is.
As your desire is, so is your will.
As your will is, so is your deed.
As your deed is, so is your destiny.
