Freedom is not a toy.
Freedom is not a lie.
Freedom is not a gift.
Freedom should not be a wish.
Freedom that our ancestors fought and died for.
Freedom to stop us from crawling on the floor.
Freedom created many wars.
Freedom secured by statutes and laws?
Freedom, of which so many stories tell.
Freedom, the difference between heaven and hell?
Freedom, to walk free on the streets and fields.
Freedom, without it we’re on our knees.
Freedom that they want to take away.
Freedom weakened day by day.
Freedom you thought it was here to stay?
Freedom…
oh no, not for me or you if the fascists have their way.
The night is tired of the ancient wars,
the cold concrete where hope was made to lie.
We stand where shadow of the past pours
and seek a future charted in the sky.
?But look now—a hand reaches over the stone,
a right to speak that needs no spoken word.
A human right that is inherently known:
to walk in peace, a blessing to be heard.
?The architects of tomorrow are now born,
and every soul stands fighting at your side.
The new world is promised on a new morn,
not in a single, solitary ocean tide.
?A hundred histories are starting to mend,
and all our varied futures fly in the heart.
This new world is a journey we transcend;
it is a greater thing than any map's art.
?For too long, the voice was silenced out of fear,
the right to safety considered a mistake.
For too long, the silence has been sharp and clear,
the freedom we must rise and surely retake.
?We claim the earth with every breath we draw,
and recognize the equal dignity of all.
We write new statutes based on what we saw,
as the last of the ancient barriers fall.
?Let dialogue be the truce we can all keep,
a space where every voice finds a good start.
Let peace be the light that helps us truly see
the mirror of our one shared, beating heart.

----------------------------------------------------------
Hide away from them and listen,
Let the newness of friendship glisten,
We’ll find our paths in heated stone,
And we will never look back to be alone.
We will run like deer into the brush,
To hide in the blissful streams and lush;
To reeds and lockets we have come to open,
We shall leave the empty statutes frozen.
If you wish to flee from I,
I shall not hasten to say goodbye;
With many a snare they may reel you in,
But you and I will win over again.
Canceled appointments and life’s loose coming-
It is no wonder we are left running;
Don’t look at the others succeed,
For they will fall faster in the tangled weeds.
Crawl into the dark with me,
Into euphoric mystery;
Let them worry about the glare,
The glowing eyes in the ground will stare.
There is much to lose beside more pain,
And the greatest loss will be your gain;
As long as you resist all spite,
To enter into the faintest, fleeting light
O Lord show yourself bountifully to me
work in my heart to obey your word
show your inspired truth to my soul
among all those in your chosen herd
Touch my eyes that they are opened
to your revelation of thy word so true
then to see mighty wondrous things
conveyed by the holy spirit so to do
Alone on the earth but need thy truth
may they be open to my seeking eyes
consumed and longing always for you
to know your wisdom with heart cries
Think upon all that wander afar
from your instruction so you must rebuke
in godly judgment remove all scorn
that I am meditating in your book
May I be observant of your statutes
while my enemies cast their evil plot
for I would delight in your scriptures
my counselors, they are whatever my lot
(This is my " Psalm 119 project" which I began to write a couple of years ago, so this is the third poem of twenty-two poems I've written over that time to cover all of Psalm 119, it'll probably take me a few weeks to put them all on my PS list.)
Adjusting Appetizing Palates.
I have sampled the variety,
I am the one who has tasted life;
The one who has had a taste of life.
Rarely indulged in the main course-
Seldom a full meal-
I come hungry-
To leave satisfied...
I want more substance.
Sampled the world on wooden toothpicks.
I have had itty bits of everything.
Piecemeal offerings to try entice my loyalty.
Old ladies with new recipes passing
them around on trays in supermarkets of the world.
I come back for more free samples.
The more I have traveled the more
I have sampled life.
Moi-Moi- and peanut butter stew.
I have tasted life with different seasonings and spices -
Tried a variety of cultural dishes - Some bland, some spicy
Tried the soul food of each one's pride as
I swallowed mine.
I have never gained control of my soul.
It wandered with me sampling life on platters.
Now desirous of healing-fish soup.
I wanted more – Traveled;
Partook of more –
Tasting life's offerings from the - rich to the poor.
Drank out of Chrystal as well as tin cups.
I have eaten from Chinaware,
and drank from gourds,
I have supped on
Hors-d'oeuvre and canapes';
Inner-voices led me to hot rocks and tepees—
Sweat camps with medicinal potions.
Tasting life in places where strange
medicine men reside.
I have eaten rice in 2000 languages.
In Asian and Indian tongues.
I swapped collard greens for callaloo;
Then stepped up to taste breadfruit -
Filled up on Ackee and Saltfish a
Exotic palatable dish.
Though never full off of life –
Not gluttony statutes yet, I have done
more than get my “whistle wet"
Still, I am glad:
“Oh, how grateful to be alive”.
Able to sample the tender morsels
of appetizers so fine.
Even though I am a
Connoisseur of fine wine.
…and have enjoyed plenty
tidbits of earth’s great bounty--
In this life.
I have supped in the finest cuisines.
Treated royally as if I were a queen.
I have supped in mansions,
or sat, an ate under exotic trees;
Yet, there is nothing so satisfying-and no one abler.
As to be back in the hood, trying not to go berserk;
Waiting for a slice of Sweet Potato pie for dessert.
After getting my grub on, at Grandmas table.
Hapless Hank severed a leg just below the knee,
When usin' a chainsaw heedlessly, you see!
He sued claimin' that it was a defective saw,
And hired an attorney to check the law.
"I've reviewed the statutes and I can't take yer case.
I'd recommend you plead mea culpa to save face."
"If yer case was heard by a judge it would rile his fury,
And I ain't about to bring such a case before a jury!"
"My law firm has determined that yer case is mighty weak.
Sorry, Hank, you ain't got a leg to stand on, so to speak!"
