 Ominous Parallels

Though he crawled on his hands and knees in an African street,
begging for mercy and a chance to live,
his enemy still shot him three times in the head,
while neighbors in their hand-made clothes looked on.

Though she dashed under a car in an American lot,
screaming for someone to help her survive,
her enemy still shot her until she died,
while shoppers with their shopping carts looked on.

Though activists shout a canary’s wisdom in the mine
warning of great dangers, should truth disappear,
the hand of injustice still unfolds to silence what’s left of their kind,
while couch-potatoes with their beer and chips look on.

Remembered History

Remembered History

Eons ago I was awake with all my faculties
Then I went to sleep, snoring for centuries
I slept long enough to know for sure
That I never existed before

Oh slumber you paved a path
And being weary of your wrath
I became a chameleon
Charmed by your opinion

And there was no thought
There was no inkling
I walked in your abstract
Without ever thinking

Oh hypnotic catastrophe you drove me to wail
When you punctured my sleeping veil
I moaned within, knowing something was wrong
If this wasn’t me, who have I been for so long?

Who would I be if I didn’t take note
That for eons your song had been my yolk?
Terrified, I howled out loud
Will you lock me away for what I say?

Then it was time to wake up from the dream
It was time to remember my song
Life is not what it seems
Your implanted history is wrong

Though you tried so hard to hold on to me
I remember how I used to be
Oh slumber declare your fake jeopardies
While I recall ancient remedies

I remember the path skewed from me
In fact, I could have been a river so easily
Or taken the form of a mountain or stream
But this time I chose a human being

In this hour, I recall my inner power
Yes, your myth worked for a time
And you reveled in my tragedy
Never dreaming this would awaken me

Oh backfired slumber you’ve lost your grip
On this one soul; on this one trip
Awake, I recall the contract
To return at this time, all faculties in tact

The dream has ended; the harmony returns
The light within is no longer dimmed
The purpose for returning now is clear
Exposed is the chronicle you hold so dear
