New poem: One Love One Truth Jah Bless---My Message to You
I have a dream, too.
Although my words may sometimes seem militant,
I'm not bent on a destructive revolution.
My rebel-lution does want Babylon to fall
For it's the only way that we all can live in peace.
It's the beast that increases the hate we create with war.
It's the beast that decreases the love that we all should make.
I want grace…
It's not hard to find.
It lurks behind the malevolence sent to torment us.
But if you really want to find grace,
Just check the face of an innocent kindergartener after playing with paste.
Or take artistic fingers and trace the God-lines on the faces of the elderly.
Too much we waste time,
Searching for safety in the deceptions of false teaching
Blasphemed from the mouths of preachers
When all we have to do is seek within our hearts and be our own teachers.
That's not to say we don't need to be guided.
But be mindful of hypocrites hiding behind a bible and a Rolls Royce…
I want to rejoice in peace…
I don't just look at the sky to talk to God.
I come to poetry venues and look at you and you and you…
Cause the path to God is an invisible trail
That leads through the hearts of the wise,
Hearts of the meek,
And even hearts of the downtrodden.
I don't condemn and I don't convert…
I just want to be able to drop ink blots that will block out the hurt and neglect
That little kids feel…
I just want to be able to write the tears of gypsies as they cry in the form of
Liturgical dances of persecution…
And I wish I could take my paint brushes and paint flowers that bloom hope
Over bruises left underneath battered eyes…
Or take my kneaded eraser and erase un-artistic smudges of lies spoken to the
Broken.
I wish I could see lower 9th Ward kids with Kool-Aid smiles
While they run behind ice-cream trucks without pro-condo bulldozers
Chasing behind…
I just want to live without being mindful of AK-47's
In order to get freedom solutions.
Only mercenaries follow blind revolutions;
True revolutionaries think with wisdom first before shooting
And I don't want my people to be fooled by the contrary.
My message to the masses…
Pour out your worry on recyclable paper shoulders.
Place not your faith in man but only in self.
Like Lauryn Hill once prophecized—
Through Adam we all see death
So it's …
One love, One truth, One breath
One love, One truth, One breath
One love, One truth, One breath
And with each step I take
I want to break free of one winged doves promising love but screeching
deceit.
With each breath I take
I want to make peace to slumbering hearts through awaking words of release.
With each step I take
I push forward with the strength of Cinque, Gandhi, and the Dali lama.
With each breath I take
I speak with the strength of Marley, Lennon, and Assata.
Together with each step and each breath,
We can defeat the beast
Through
One love, One truth, One peace
One love, One truth, One peace
One love, One truth, One peace
Jah Bless!
