A Live Sonnet To Walking In The Shadows

Of Death~ ~~~

 

Out of the day, weird and as dark as the

morbid grave,

I walk through the shadows of old death

filled with rage.

Here in the declared land of the free and

home of the brave,

I’m still deemed no less than that of an old

unchained slave.

Daily life is lived no less than that of being

on death row;

The beautiful ebony sheen of my skin limits

where I can go.

Well at least in today’s shadows of death, I

protect the trees;

To save the forest, they now lynch blacks

with their knees.

Oh but now, the racist wrinkles of time are

being  put to the tests;

Rainbow masses of fed-up youth flood the

streets with protests.

Here in the land of life, liberty and pursuit

of happiness,

Daring young people are challenging its viral

racist mess.

Putting their lives on the line for crimes against

you and me,

They’re showing the world, a true commitment to

making all free.

I'm deep in my feelings. Nd yes! young soldiers are putting their lives on the line here in N.Y.C. The Bronx may have been burning in the 70's. But uptown is flooding the gates with rage.

Yes ND, jwins! As a former SNCC Field Secretary back in the 60s, I too am deep in my feelings; and I lift up in prayer and support to those who are geniune in their comittment to the cause. From my experiences, I know it is only by the will of The Almighty, that I am alive to witness all of what is going on today. I now know well, that "...Only the worker dies...the work goes on." continue to work on your writing and keeping writing. The pregnant poetic mind is an enlightening teaching mind--a gift from the Creator. Peace and Love, M. "Tex" Lowe (aka mlowe5)
