proclamation,
reclamation
if
we really want to be
just
the skin and bones
of
human beings
then
let the purity
and
the sanctimonious rapture
of
our neon captured
capitalism
run its course
until
it reaches
that
static grind cycle
of
base pyramid death
to
a pinnacled life
but
if we want
I
mean, really want to have
and
to hold
our
humanity
with
every breath
we
must find a common ground
we must thresh our flesh
from our spirits
from each of our shafts of light
so we can wield these
immutable swords
of
free will and Love
then
let’s be brave
and
let’s grant each other civility
and
let’s find a way
to
thrive with elegance
as
Maya said
because
too few of us know
that
we are all caged birds
and
that we all still sing
for
a word that doesn’t ring
any
bells without barring someone else
from
what their dreams can bring
because
I am not sure
if
protecting the dollar
is
hollering what
freedom means any more
