The Tide - Over The Rainbow

CATEGORY

life

Views: 222

At the high tide,
The sea cradled us blind,
Nurtured our egos,
Gilded the guilt of our ills,
Caressed the conscience in our hearts.

At the low tide,
The sea left the skeleton
Of our tangled actions ashore,
Our guilt engraved on the pebbles,
Our conscience straggly with contrition.

We wonder and ponder,
Upon our actions
Of the past.
Tis a heavy price
To pay for our sweet tooth.
Oh Lord
What have we done!

 

This piece was written to express the moment of realisation of the oppressors and their descendants.

 

Over The Rainbow is a poetic collection capturing the perspective of various members of the global community over time, stemming from the Atlantic Slave Trade.

Nice write, lasi_gi. Love the smooth flow of introspection. Yes, we often find ourselves caught in the web of putting "our will" ahead of "His will". Thanks for the share. Peace and Love, mlowe5.
