a grave

 i wept today

for all our culture

now in hateful chains

spawner of hateful ways

and turns of phrase

hateful for blinding days

hateful bitter fires too

i saw all our progress up in flames

some sailors came to this small islet

they have set flames to our ships

raped our women and

helped the manic guideless

twist speech in wrong turns

of indifference from whence

you came

or where

youve been

yet see the moon

it rises and then is gone

imagine the depth and life

our oceans gave spawn

to all our culture

all as of today

i cry for blm

i cry for such people

that choose to be inhabited

by such hate and at such pace

never hesitant to feel or even see

disgrace and how utterly gone

and at what rate it disappeared

and at whose whim it was ignored

and whose grave that it made

im laying roses on

freedom is a word today

with an meaning

it means gone!!!
