Notes From Another Poem Bodering On Today

CATEGORY

I cannot cry for the children

of others—

the deaths of my own have drained dry

the wells of my eyes—

red orbs sunken deep in dark caverns

of growing grief

echoing wailing cries

of the ghost[s]…womb[s]...

wailing cries

falling on lifeless auricles

flaccid to vibrations of ebony pleads

of mothers whose babes

die daily deaths

 

Though with thoughts heavier than time,

longer than rope—ordained and anointed

with the blood of ancestors, we cannot swallow

sacred memories nor eviscerate the common bond

between all the children of the god of the oppressed.

 

Yet let us not allow the present wicked deception

distract—derail our own Jubilee struggle for justice.

Let us not allow shifting tactics of deceit dilute focus

on the daily murdering of the oppressed of the darker hue.

 

Indeed, the melting pot boils; but upon whom

does it spill over?
