eclipse Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Does the flower summon Thunder, daring It to desecrate its Roots. The church preserves Heritage, custodian Of the library of wounds, amplifying the sound Of the wishing well Whispering to it's Reflection, congregation praying to create a clear Perception about racial Consciousness. The ghosts of Martin and Malcolm call to each Other from empty Watchtowers, Call and response; Spirit-darkness Church - community Conscience-action. Ocean on a map floating On a river, imperceptibly the Church directs souls Back to the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Nice work on this one, Barry. I like how you carry the church metaphor throughout. The rhetoric is somber and dignified, and the poem reads remarkably well.
