With Reality In Mind

CATEGORY

life

Walking through a forest of memories

along a trail of ancestral footprints

I stepped on a pyramid stone—

piercing my mind with the pain of reality:

 

Reality…dreams are not;

they’re just introductory directions.

 

Reality…visions are not;

They’re mere paths to be traveled.

 

Reality…reality is!

And so is the present life

we’re still struggling.

 

To have dreams…to have visions…

are not realities; merely hopes.

 

Being walled up in our skins

by bigotry, deceit, and injustice,

are pinball realities… propelling

from one deceiver to another.

 

Reality is; not something coming to be:

deferred dreams remain just that—

deferred (indefinitely).

 

Broken visions remain just that—

broken (forever).

 

Without struggle (always);

freedom concedes nothing.

 

It’s surely a staunch reality

that walling oppression remains;

but a Jericho strategy will not work.

The reality is that we must amass

a battering ram spirit…so let’s get real!

Ping pong paddle strategies are no match

for today’s hailing snowball oppressive forces.
