Darkness of Light

CATEGORY

just different

Born of darkness

how does one accept
that which he’s never seen . ?

How does one know
the sublime . ?

            Enshroud by light

            how does one know
            the absence thereof . ?

            how can one not be
                    but blind . ?

From the void where came
all things that are

and all things that
will be

absence believed
meets presence own perception

                       the ambit in which
         all else exist as real

Does one not see a path . ?

     Does one not see
             the tree that bears fruit
             of a kind that can be eaten

and not be poison
to the soul . ?

Puppet

Strings taut ~

the doll twists

    just
    a single movement
    of the puppeteer’s wrist

    D a n c e
        puppet
            D a n c e . . !

        nimble hands
        orchestrate mischief

            sleight of hands
           mask the outcome's
           aftermath

listen ~

to the music

Veracity

There're no truths
         no lies

   none exist . .

       but for the relationships

                      interpretations

       and                         ...

There Was Once a Place

Can’t be saved
but need help

healthy
but ain't well

               afraid to fall
            never was taught to fly

                    no balance . . .

            just broken pieces
            of bones and sorrow
           <...

Be Proud

Be proud and thankful
for your black skin

Tell Your Kind

Dear White Politicians . .
don't go to black churches

    and tell Black Folk
    how much you hate racism

         Go to White Churches
            and tell your kind

Indebted

save the children
of tomorrow

it is from them
we borrow today

Futile

Sometimes
it doesn't really matter
     which way you turn

    there's always someone
    standing behind you

with a jar of Vaseline
and a bag of
