You can’t grasp liberation
With butterfinger hands;
Rather, you must grasp her
With an iron-fist grip;
Clasping her here forever:-
Thus, let us get to being about
Fulfilling and sealing our liberation,
Rather than just rapping about it:-
Rember, liberation is not given,
It is faithfully fought for and won:-
And the best part of the fight is,
It's not with those weapons given us
To freely eradicate ourselves with;
Rather, it’s with the political power weapon
That so many fought and died for us to win
And have, in securing our political liberation:-

Each new Poem a gift
as yet unwrapped
Its secrets lay hidden,
its flow untapped
Waiting for the author
to feel the pain
To seal the memory
—to wear the stain

The Sealing
What is that soft wind swirling ‘round the air?
Catching my breath in its Word without words.
Nothing could other than your Spirit be,
Surprising, Love of loves enveloped me.
In wonder I walked, in wonder I lived,
Feeling the glow of peace above the earth;
That soft wind staying very gently felt,
Unseen, unbelieved and yet believing.
Those weeks Love held me in its tender vice,
Slowly, slowly bringing my feet to ground,
Love not leaving, but so reassuring,
Impossible to forget, turning life.
When mean dark nights now try to break my heart,
Sealed by your Spirit forever I know.
