Poems - On Point

On Point

by ddkwenda

Breaking lead in metaphors of passion/
these invisible pencils had impromtue speaches of potic notions/
Protests manifest in rhythm demanding change/
Strangers have become acquainted to these idealistic thoughts menacing/
Conformists must be looking at each other in confusion/
As this fusion of philosophy becomes reality from mere illusion/
Religious institutions including educational turfs have become relics in seclusion/
Teaching is still frozen in time such that it's becoming redundant/
It's a colonial clone ingrained in black mentalities/
Freedom is non-existent, it's just sentences in utterances of pipe dreaming/
It starts from the inner being overflowing into a stream/
that redeems this theme of Pan-Africanist seams/
Filled in with Jesus I believe what I preach is what he desires of us/
Coz our prison of hindrance has us limited to mere pathetic western influence/
Reverence should be given to Christ's redemption of mankind/
He neither segregated thus this belated derogatory view of blackness is sin/
Pay attention lest you fail to interpret the various, statements/
Edify yourself be released from constraining attachments/
Stretch your potential into potent power/ Not to subdue another but to lift yourself to live at life's epitome/
I'm not an elitist but believe life could be lived/
At the highest level without the subjugation of a people based on race being grieved/

Where injustice rules, the people must speak out and encourage others to do the same. I believe that in my heart and I practice what I preach here in the US. Dividing people on class and/or racial lines is evil, whether it is done by a government or by any other entity. We all suffer from lies and greedy power brokers. I am reading your work and beginning to understand some of what you're saying, DD. Well done, Mary Ann
