Where, Where, Where?
You were not there
As she lay in fetal sleep
Not listening to the soft stepping feet
Of that monster-is this another repeat?
Various unvoiced:
Preachers.
Teachers.
Brethrens.
Activists.
You were not there…
There but silent
There with closed minds
The weakest amongst them all
The complainers, yet praises! ! ! !
You can’t be here because you are still there
Past deeds don’t die; they live as lies
You’re not here because of enslaved
Minds chained to old ideas.
There, in abhorrence of ones deeds that
Exonerates responsibilities from protagonists; but
Leaving bad seeds for perpetual pollination by bees
