America—theoretically—seeks
to remain to be the home of the free
and the land of the brave; where without
a shadow of doubt—theoretically—the
resiliency of the latter continues to seemingly
abort oppressive pregnancies of the former
in this broken nation where—theoretically—political
bigotry has been granted a reprieve and democracy
temporary bail pending the outcome of the federal
trial America has—theoretically—opened on
the infamous Pandora Box-like Covid-19 vaccine.
Meanwhile, captured and webbed in the collusion
of this nation’s pandemic dilemmas, a bewildered
world—theoretically—on bending knees
now holds its scandalous breath as it awaits a scary
juxtaposed verdict that will—theoretically—expose
the failure of the ideology of constitutional words
evolving into revolutionary liberating reality.
Yet, albeit the vision of the present reality in which we’re
now tasked, let us not be deceived in apathetic awe. For we
have not been brought this far over the way for nought; but
for the non-theoretical allegorical purpose of wringing out
shed blood and ironing out leftover wrinkles in our sojourn.
No, the present reality is not yet where we ought to be but—
theoretically—we are not where we once were in the journey.
Thus, let us not wallow in deceptive fear hovering over us; for,
as it has been said, fear is nothing more than “false expectations
appearing real.” And this too is theoretically speaking!
