An empty seat awaits your presence and when you occupy it, I will be rowing you silently through an ancient route. You sit there on the other end of the boat and look around. As you will find me absorbed in rowing you choose not to ask me that one question and you keep it for later. Then when you gaze the grasslands and the infinite sky a shimmering golden breeze kisses your face and you feel strange. For you know this breeze and this recollection will make you feel like you know every pixel of what you see and you know every grain of your feeling. Like you know everything about everything here for ages. Like something is speaking to you and waiting for you to break your silence. Yet, your silence is your only language, your only means to express. You look at me and I raise my head. In the moment, something in us knows that a word will be too much. Your question drops. And, a wordless journey on an ancient route goes on..
I own nothing The ideas I present The feelings I feel The thoughts I think And, the words I used Or continue to use to express myself. Everything, ever that has been Has been through: Absorption, assimilation, memorization Recollection, repetition and more memorization.
On this #4thofJuly2020 I remember the sacrifices of our ancestors who gave their all. Men from all ethnic backgrounds stood up against tyranny – They were Americans, equal in the fight for #Freedom And now, we must become equal in the fight against #Dictatorship#SaveOurDemocracy
Denial…delay…deception…trumps response to Covid19 Pandemic
Over 107,000 dead.
Insensitive…Inept…Inarticulate…trumps response to George Floyd
Devoid of empathy, compassion.
Brutality…Brandishing… Bayonets…trumps response to Protests
“Battelspace” war cry on peaceful protesters.
Defiling one of God’s House for… Now wait for it……………………………
“The Most sacrilegious photo-op in American History”…trumps response to jealousy (Biden)
Just a friendly reminder: “There were NO reports of ‘looting’ until AFTER trump tweeted:
“When the looting starts the shooting starts”…a racial slur from 1968.
FACT: American Generals Are Fed Up With trumps Racists BullShit
The Revered General Mattis made that PERFECTLY Clear!
FACT: Esper? “I am against the Insurrection Act at this ‘time’”…
Americans are on edge wondering if he will retain Honor and Integrity for the United States Military or be pulled into the dictator wanna be’s attempt to “Dominate” the American people.
A local story tells
of a dam that blocked a creek in late ’60.
The water rose, year by year,
seeped over a poor family’s
rocky homestead,
the one that was supposed
to be an assured future.
58 years under
the dark, cool waves,
bass and perch swimming past
foundation stones covered in mud and algae.
The loss of a dream
is a reason
We are at the center stage
hounded and cheered by the million hungry eyes
ready and pumped to get
a piece of the entertainment
of their life
to get that taste of the bloodied reality
and voyeuristic truth
we have been gulping down our throats
through all this life
Flags as large as ships’ sails
Waive to and fro in solidarity,
Billowing with pride.
The masses— Whose fully erect arms Are only an open palm away From a formal Nazi salute—
Fill the flowing tapestry of banners
With air warmed by their impassioned voices
As they chant and sing
The acrid cries of war.
When He came down from the heavens above,
We welcomed Him, arms wide open with love.
We showered our God with adoration
And eagerly sought His revelation.
Prostrated before His magnificence
In an attempted rite of recompense
Under the golden throne of creation,
We prayed for everlasting salvation,
Please, feel free to help an aspiring artist, writer, poet, and musician achieve his lifelong destiny for success. Thanks in advance. Kyle T. Dibert’s Book of Poetry
