In the spirit of hope, we contemplatively search beyond
The horizon for the mystic exorcism of the pandemic deaths
Proliferating From the disparity reigning from viral medical
And political Infestations decimating targeted ones of colour.
However, the audacity of such hope must be sought within the
Horizon—within the horizon of the spirit of mind and soul
Where abides the powerful exorcism infused with the divine
Wisdom and guidance that ejects the “in” out of justice;
There, the oppressed and other prey consumed In the supportive
Nourishing of the oppressors, Will find the divine gift the Creator
Bestowed upon His human creatures: Choices! Yes, America!
Choices to allow and maintain fanatical racism and all the collateral
Damage of its faecal defecation:
It’s a choice to oppress and to be allowed to be oppressed;
It’s a choice to support political and economic fascism;
It’s a choice to allow, maintain and support lynch-style murder;
It’s a choice to support that some lives matters and others do not;
It’s a choice to feed on lies rather than remain hungry for justice;
It’s a choice to be silent and apathetic towards abject tyranny.
And yes Black America, it’s a choice not to practice Black Lives
Matters!
And yes Black America, it’s a choice not to believe in our Black
Power!
And yes Black America, it’s a choice not to believe that there is
power in the vote!
We must now choose to be black and comely; not to be the American
comedy!
We must now choose to be the begetters of freedom; not the beggars
of freedom!
We must now choose to make the ever flame of hope to become a burning
bush of reality!
Let us realize that yesterday has come and gone and that tomorrow is
now today;
Let us realize that liberation has never been given but has always been
fought for;
Let us realize that due time is now and that procrastination remains the
thief of time.
