ON THE EVOLUTION OF JUSTICE
If only old justice could be as death
in the daily lives we live.
Pity, her evolution remains
a punctuated checkmate delusion
and her close kin, liberty,
a symbiotic partner—both the prey
of predatory creatures of injustice.
Just how much longer must old death
mirror what justice is supposed to evolve
into being?
Consider: injustice minus “in” equals justice.
No longer can our liberation be viewed
in terms of a tragic Shakespearian question
or as an evolutionary political mutation.
Rather, it will be won through creative feats
of evolving revolutionary ebon warriors
fighting onward—chanting, “We Got This!”
