APROPOS OF THE RETURN

When school was in full swing, for several reasons

Many prayed for snow days, but Covid-19 came

Instead; now we are all admonished to please pray for

That day the world returns to what was once normal;

However, this time we must be careful what we pray for.

Let us never forget the centuries when chattel slavery,

Lack of the right to vote and Jim Crow segregation were

Normal legal practices in these United States of America;

And don’t forget to remember that it is still normal when

Cesspools are constantly filling with their flushed sewage.

Which is often the metaphor describing the fecal voice

Mega phoned from USA leaders in today’s pandemic times.

Thus, perhaps it would be better if we should pray for

The return of the sacredness of that blessed humanity

Giving spiritual focus to the fact that all lives matter

And that equanimity and justice must know no disparity.

Like all the living allegorical lessons we are being taught,

This proverbial pandemonium too shall have its closeout

And we’ll be given the opportunity to live out the tutoring.

Thus, let us ever be mindful that guiding wisdom is found

In the revealing womb of enlightening contemplation;

And it is there we must dwell in establishing the new normal.

No, the return will not be easy; neither was the Middle Passage

And the peculiar institution that it fostered for centuries.

Thus, let us again be mindful that the Ancestors did more with less

And we with more—despite the collateral damage—must do more

That those who will call us Ancestors will be able to complete

The return to the normal inherent liberties we were created with.

Therefore, when we will have overcome the present distancing,

Let us sharpen our focus on the prize and the strategies of attainment.

Our surviving lost children will be in need of the Ancestral guidance

That ourstory must add to the treacherous virtual daily history of the

 Breaking News canvassing today’s chaotic demise of sacred humanity

By the beastly Son of Satan and his brainwashed bigoted siblings

All of whom shall fall victims of the fruits of their sown demonic seeds.

Finally, let us realize that the worst oppression is self-inflicted

Oppression;

Thus, domestic oppression by fellow oppressed beings can no

Longer be.

There is nothing normal about a Boko Harim-like mentality!  Nothing!

Thanks, love_supreme. Though written before the present "Greeking", I hope this still resonates with others, today. Peace and Love.
