EMBERS


EMBERS


I can hear the Poor Person’s Song

The Flower that fights to bloom

Enduring the constant down pour of rain

Where buried dreams emerge as martyrs

Their seeping wounds excreting the venom

Of the Worlds’ exploitation and neglect

The Starlight of Dreamy Nights

Illuminates Hope upon the Sad Heart

Struggling on the battlefield of life’s hardships

There are Uncovered Graves
Surrounded by Butterflies and Orchards
And the Fireflies take flight in the constant night
To guide a Child to the Gates of Freedom

And the green pastures of the Lazarus Born
Celebrate by playing the Flutes of Saints and Heroes
And the Children’s Prayers are Painted upon the Faces of the Old
Yet Wisdom Screamssssssssssss
~ For Help ~
Amidst The Clamor of More and More and More
In our Mad Paced World
Drowning in technology's confetti and cocktails

The octopus’s tentacles hold prisoner
The mind that has not discovered its’ freedom
The blurring hype of marketing
Is spinning in the eyes of the mesmerized bystander
Like a slot machine player
A few dollars are won ~ for the bigger lost
And the demons’ greed laugh as though they have won

~ The Battle of Forever ~

Nevertheless, the Prophets Have Spoke
Yet Leaders ignore all revelations
And the rich and comfortable
Are not constrained by life’s hesitations

Our tragedies unshackle momentous tears
Our communities are rising with unselfish unity

And the Misery in the Frigid Night

~ Cowers ~

At this Shock Wave of Light
And the tombs ~ ~ ~ of all the Unspoken Heroes
Shall be carried and placed at the Eternal Feet of God

So let the poor and struggling person’s tears sing to the sky
~ The Agony of Their Anthem ~
~ That Hope Is Never Lost ~
Even though the muddy roads are determined to be repaved
With the recycled asphalt of business as usual

~ The Imprints of Hope ~

The small change in the poor person’s pockets

Measures  As  Enormity ~ In Their Hearts

 

~ So Let Us Not Die ~

~ With Many Regrets ~
