IN THE ARENA OF HUNG-UP HANG-UPS

CATEGORY

Views: 131

 

 

In this country’s marathon of human life,

panther hued sheep are always on the mark,

set and ready for the challenges of the lead

and erasers of the pencils of systemic racist

oppression.

 

Standing, walking, riding, driving, running

and just jumping around have become like

daily death sentences for people of color on

the tracks and fields and in the pits and pools

of daily life.

 

What would normally be pit-stops along the

road of life are now normal traffic-stops of death

by knees, arms, and loaded hands of whites that are

always in the right even when filmed in the bright light

of day or night.

 

Indeed, each day perpendicular to the ground is blessed

for we black-inked ones not yet parallel in the purgatory hole

of the daybreak that has not been seen in the olympiad arena

of today’s pontificated extravaganza of this country’s optimized

racist bigotry.

 

Today, the liquid spirit of liberation flows through the shadowed

seams of the weaving hope, faith, graciousness, and the vibing

H-Boult rhythms proudly spiking towards the tender revelations

of the tangible reality that Ray and Steavy saw sailing towards

the finishing line.

 

Never again will we sing an anthem of before I’ll be a slave, I’ll be

dead and buried in my grave and go home to be free; oh no! 

I was born free—burst from the womb—flowing down the loins

of liberty; destine to freely participate in the reality of God’s

rainbow of colored life.

Oh no!—this time—ain’t nobody gonna turn us around;

for we have finally realized that the trophy of freedom—

liberation—has never been given freely; rather, it has always

been fought for on the decathlon battlefield of liberty.  Thus,

sitting around waiting on the trophy to be given is bad; not

getting up and taking it is worst!

 

So let us hurdle and shadow my bad with I’m so glad Jesus

lifted me…singing glory alleluia…Jesus lifted me…and now I’m

on the  battlefield of the Lord with wrinkleless hope in my soul’s

spirit; the trowel of faith in one hand and the breathing sword

of God’s liberty in the other!
