Reality's Restitution

Solidarity follows
What humility begets

Hilarity follows
When humanity forgets

Sorrowful wallows
We panic, we regret

Indemnity follows
A species drowning in debt

Blm

So black lives matter now we say
their worth now seen anew
While ages past we saw the day
we recognized so few.

But white lives matter too they said
and brown and yellow too
Yet centuries of hidden bled 
‘neith toes of masters’ shoes

Enslavement built our country strong
in goods and crops and funds
A wealthy nation moved along
on backs of murdered

I Was the Bread of Restitution -

Lord I am an ingredient
 I want to be more than just that
In your pot stir me up 
Come sup, dine with me
Fill me up
With thine substance leaven me
Keep stirring me up 
Keep me from sticking, burning on this and the other side
Come sit with me come drink my portion 
Engage near me my resolution

Institution For My Stamp

My smiles just for the institution,
Which trifles not with constitution:
Brooks not the safest prostitution,
Defaulters starving restitution...

Institution that works with tuition 
To minds prepare for intuition,
So that yesterday's Dumped Destitute
Is not today's Bitter Prostitute...

Institution tasting sweet Appeal,
No plans to Sacrosanct Laws repeal:
A body for Routine procreation 
Of men with famished eyes on fruition.

That's institution for Rubber

In this life of mine
I forgive all transgressors
We are endless ones

Mine Conscience Exhorts Restitution Regarding Lost Wedding Band

Thru deliberate seductive
liaisons, ploys, and underhanded gambits,
I tendered illicit, explicit and complicit shenanigans
blatant actions to foment coital adulteration.

Ofttime these discrete liaisons found me removing 
linkedin metallic keepsake symbolizing union.

Years elapsed since this spouse pledged his troth,
he sported husbandly marital vows courtesy
monogrammed nondescript ring.

Impossible mission prevails to locate complimentary
jeweled tokens bespeaking our joint monogamous fidelity.

Yours truly

Restitution

Restoring the lost me
To replenish the exhausted zest.
To learn to fall off a crest,
Looking up again, with a heart in my chest.
Reviving reliving
the vivid memories ,when the feet were tiny,
full of grace
full of pace.
Holding on to memories,
nostalgia circling me,
i began to walk ,
a tumultuous trip.
Holding on to my hues,
alas, I traversed through.
Timidly trailing time,
hoping to

The Path of Dawn, Realm of Restitution

THE REALM OF THE FALL....

There existeth a realm
on the face of the earth
where immortal and mortal
compete for glory..

what is a mortal
if not a god clipped
to submission..
on a path of remission...

what is man and the son of man..
bit lower than angels..
crowned of honor and glory
sin the greatest hindrance to re-union..

sin separateth
creature from creator
leading to the former
dying

Restitution

The summer scene
So blissful and serene

A bright sun shines
Over baby-blue skies
Upon a mountainous view
Bringing pleasure to my eyes

It’s great to be alive!
Breathe in the air
Feel a surge inside
As it flows through

Something beyond compare
There is no way to describe
There is no way I can share
What I am telling you

It is the accomplishment
More like personal gain
To rise

A Heart's Quest For Restitution

A sick, bleeding heart
Sings a song of loneliness
It lives for true love
And is searching everywhere 
For the one who will mend it 

A sore, vengeful heart
Longs for a moment of peace
The heart is maddened
And is straining to repair
It's cold, endless suffering
