APROPOS OF THE RETURN

CATEGORY

life

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!

LIVING AND LEARNING WAR (A Hideous Unjustified Lesson)

Oh what greater way

to learn and experience

there is no peace in A war

than being bombed

in A school classroom

during A morning prayer

on A beautiful summer day:-

IN THE TRINITY OF YOUR BEING...

Like a liberated butterfly,

You must soar the skies of life

Reflecting invigorating pride,

Delight, and gracious integrity,

In the in the blessed trinity that is

The beauty of the oneness

Of who you are in being

The you, the I, and, yourself,

That the Creator has given

To this world to reflect

His love and to be an instrument

Of His peace in daily labors of love;

Never, ever doubt the who and whose

You are in the trinity of your blessed being:-

WHY WE'RE STILL HERE

We're workers of God,

Labors of divine love;

Builders of HIs will:-

A FAITHFUL FREIGHT RIDE

Lost, I hopped a freight,

filled with confidence and faith;

Arrived at God's gate:-

LIFE'S CHOICES...

Life lived, can be

good, bad, or indifferent;

depending upon

your choices

of the life you choose

to live:-

ENSURING THE POWER

Ironically, you must seek that which you wish

To eventually find;

Likewise, you must knock at the door of wisdom

To be let in.

And you need to humbly ask for the nourishing

Of your mind;

How fortunate—there is the soul to bear and reveal

The oppressive sin!

Though we continue to trek through the dark valley

Of the shadow of death,

Above remains the continuous burning bush light

Showing the righteous way;

Thus, with audacious hope and purposed faith,

Let us not be bereft.

For we have been promised that in living due time,

Is the coming great day!

We can no longer be viewed as a satisfied debased

Supine living breed;

No longer can we be visualized as the epitome of

Endured tolerance;

There can be no modus viv...

OPPRESSOR SYNDROME EXODUS (A MLOKU TRIO)

Today we blacks continue to suffer from an Oppressor

Syndrome;

This used to be referenced as Black-On-Black crimes in

our community;

We must now realize that its healing can only come from

us alone:-

It’s indeed a mental illness when you engage in self

oppression.

It’s hell on earth when the oppressed eagerly does

the oppressor’s work;

it’s high time we become aware of this unhealthy

situation:-

Thus in this coming POTUS election it’s time to start

healing us;

Indeed with renewed faith and belief in self let’s beam

healing power,

Reflecting voting power sending oppression to its

exodus:-

THE MIND'S HEART OF THE MATTER...

In reality,

The heart can't be broken;

But can be deceived:-

Mine mind deception,

Deceived minds deceive hearts;

Be in awareness:-

Deceive hearts don't break,

But they do feel the heart's pain;

Healed minds heal their hearts.THE MIND

A GRIOT'S VEXATIOUS WAR SONNET

It was once written that there are wars and rumors

of wars;

Today, those rumors are no more, but the many wars

still are.

Today, the world is as innudated with war as the sky is

with stars;

Blatant wars are going on around the world both near

and far.

The military was once looked upon as the protective arm

of a nation,

Rather than as a seemingly octapus-like armed invading

destructive demon:-

Was there not a time when war was a major UN concern

of arbitration?

Why is it that world wide concern for peace on earth is

no more common?

In wars of scattered times past, lives were lost and the

collateral damage, abundant;

In present day current occuring wars, deaths and collateral damage

are both huge:-

In the past, majority deaths were military; today, suc...

WE TWINS (++)

You are the apple

Of the eye

Of life;

The tongued echo

Of its voice;

The reflection

Of its glorious being:

And I am

Your dynamic twin!
