OF FRUITS HANGING IN THE WINDS OF TIME

CATEGORY

Ignorance, like a dreaded wind,

Waits in ambush for our ripening youth;

Waiting to blow them out of the footprints

We have left and hoped for them to travel.

 

No longer must we allow the mold of ignorance

And the festering fungal deceit of history

Rot away the minds of our precious fruits; rather,

We must refresh their minds with the essence

And the healing flowing waters of ourstory.

 

We must snatch them from the crisis winds

Of unawareness; teaching them to listen well

With their eyes and ears, labouring in contemplation,

Allowing the midwife of revelation to deliver divine

Truths to seeded fruits—their mold of ignorance cured.

              

  Let us be mindful that the fresh fruits of aged wombs,

  In beauty, have fragility—needing to be anchored, moored

   And strengthened to withstand the serpentine winds

   Of Injustice, and winding staircases of deceit that await them.

 

  Thus, let 's solidify our children in journeying liberation’s footprints;

  Let us reflect the destination of the journey not with fogged words; but

Let us do so with clear truths of ourstory and their purpose in it.

 

If the fruit does not fall far from the tree, let us be the trees of love…

Let us be the trees of longsuffering…the trees of faithfulness…self-control;

The trees planted by the waters…sustaining our fruits to conquer the times.

 

If there be any sense…any reasoning…any truth in these webbed words,

Then pluck and think on them as if bitten by the curiosity of hived bees.

To my Brethren, mrmelody7, Coalhouse, and emcintyr1981, many thanks for your read and supportive feedback. I am honored, humbled, and most appreciative. Though retired after 40 years fulltime in the classroom, I still spend about three hours daily tutoring in an after school program. We have so much work to do! Peace and Love, mlowe5.
