In the Blind Season of Inequality (For Rousseau)

CATEGORY

Strange—the abuses of nature

never go unnoticed;

yet does the inequality of the nature                                                               

of man—her most unique creature.

 

What audacious mendacity!  Crowning self;

issuing and bestowing salutary yokes:

socio-political race metamorphosis—slavery;

that beloved, peculiar institution.

 

Despite resurrection, millennia

descendents of Pilate

continue ritualistic washing of hands

in basins of waters

tinted with the blood of the hued ones.

 

That “…all men are created equal…”

 has no bearing on the lives they must live

in the “…home of the brave and land of the free.”

There’re laws of nature and those of man—

bearing no shame in their variance.

 

A Rousseau deemed Camelot, this land is not;

inequality has become the bow—injustice the knot.

Blindness remains an impenetrable veil; and

man’s justice continues to seek a balanced scale.

 

Albeit, all who savor and crave august liberty—sailing

on the ships of faith and hope—yet envision

coming winds of change when the iceberg of injustice

shall implode and melt into the tranquil sea of equanimity.
