PONDERING AWARENESS...

CATEGORY

life

Time has moved on

But little has changed.

Still no justice; still no peace

And black body counts still rise

As we sink lower and lower

Into the whorl pool legalities

Of the jurisprudence of injustice;

Leaving us again with the questions: 

What do we tell our children?

and

Where do we go from here?

Time has moved on

But little has changed

As we now approach

The juxtaposed celebrations

Of Juneteenth and the 4th of July:

So much remains to be put asunder;

There’s still so much for us to ponder.
