REDEMPTION TIME...

CATEGORY

With the ever burning candle flame

Of faith, we cuddle reeds of hope

And continue to chase

The elusive blind goddess—

Elusive as the tick-tock of time;

 

Our mending dream catchers—empty

Like kitchen sieves trying to catch molecules

Of water—continue to net towards fulfillment.

 

Today...funerals have become sacred

Gatherings—acerbating kleoids of old wounds.

Blood-letting memories of hooded night riders—

Whose un-sheeted children now cruse daylight hours

Reopening "cold cases" from the cobwebbed shelves

Of their bloodstained histories:

Ravaging, mutated vampires of injustice—

Sucking fresh ebony blood; human termites

Of the wood of justice; devouring planks of liberty—

Leaving the dust thereof—blowing in the wind.

 

But is this the end?  Oh no!  Praises be!

The hope of retribution rest in the crucible of faith;

With tsunami tides of liberation, we shall rise again

At the equitable shores of promised redemption.
