Black power…   

 

The thought, the idea…

 

 

The dream …of it…

 

To recognize the responsibility

 

 

Make meaningful society,

Reasonably secure, understanding…

 

 

 

Rule by law…

 

 

Having the wisdom 

...to learn it

 

 

Does not presuppose… it is easy

 

 

To possess the ability

 

 

To balance …and reinforce

 

 

The necessary power to enforce

 

 

The discipline to guide …and hold steady

 

 

The unifying voice …amidst the choice

 

 

Of making more, matter…

 

 

Than the lack …of interference…

 

In control …of dealings

 

 

 

Among people …whose feelings…

 

 

Don’t always coincide…   

 

 

It will take more than pride

…to establish respectable 

 

judgment

 

 

 

Among adversarial parties

 

 

The wisdom of Solomon…

 

 

Is needed…

 

Will we …all rise

 

 

 

Or everyone, remain seated…

 

 

Are we all agreed…

 

C2

 

Who can imagine…

 

How can

 

People …who lack power

 

To elevate themselves

 

Above, beyond…

 

A pattern of circumstance…

 

 

Given no chance to do

 

Their own…  

 

Rules   

 

 

Rule… themselves

If we are going to get there, we'll need to blast away theirs and our own nadirs that still linger inbetween us and the desired zenith. Thanks for sharing this powerful--allegorical---contemplating write. Write on C2! Peace and Love, M. Lowe.
