🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

riding thy rthymic redemption song, 1992

entering thy grocery store within thy

pearly un-gated hood, hangry to buy,

being shot in thou coldest blood . . .

being a baby cherub, . . . filmed . . .

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

replaying, repeating, and televising, . . .

showing, whilst asking, . . .

thinking haven’t we seen this before?

changing channels, fasting, . . .

chanting, praying, singing, . . .

repeating . . .haven’t we seen this before?

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

holding thy chest out, thy head held high, .. . .

pumping thy fist up, thy voice shaking . .

cracking, protesting, thy soul dying . . .

promising, being unkept, and thy dreams . .

dying, burning, growing hotter as thou . . .

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

rising up, up, and away, flames . . .

exploding and imploding in and out, . . .

breathing in: love, liberty, and justice for all . . .

breathing out: hate, shackles, and injustices .

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

praying, and feeling within the hearts

feeling within each of us, lies thou. . .

seeing sacred cherubs and heavenly angels . . .

entering the joyous pearly golden gates. . .

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. " --Martin Luther King Jr.

BLESSINGS to all on Martin Luther King Jr. Day
